Real-Time Conversation Streams in Google Wave Powered by Ribbit
Google Wave is a revolutionary new collaboration tool for people to share files and communicate. Fully web-based and programmable, Wave creates an open, standard environment for developers to build extensions that enhance the Wave experience.
Ribbit is a fully programmable communications platform that allows web developers to integrate telephony and messaging capabilities into any workflow or application. Combining
Ribbit with Google Wave means real-time, asynchronous
audio streams can now be inserted into any Wave.
Participants can collaborate using voice in live
conference sessions and by leaving audio messages.
Both of these streams become an integral part of the
Wave collaboration process, providing additional channels
of communication and significantly enhancing the overall
Wave collaboration experience.
Ribbit Conference Gadget -Beta
The Ribbit Conference Gadget allows Wave participants to escalate an online collaboration session to a real-time audio communications session, allowing participants to talk with each other while collaborating. The Ribbit Conference Gadget is persistent in the Wave and allows any Wave participant to:
Create an audio connection with multiple Wave participants
Add non-Wave participants to the session
Mute or hold any of the individual participants from the stream
Disconnect any participants from the stream
End the session
Coming Soon! Coming Soon! Coming Soon!
Ribbit Message Gadget -Beta
The Ribbit Message Gadget allows Wave participants to connect to a Wave by calling an associated dial-in number and leaving an audio message. The Ribbit Message Gadget displays a transcription of the audio message along with the actual audio message attached as an MP3 file. The Ribbit Message Gadget is persistent in the Wave and includes an embedded player that can be used to listen to messages. A Ribbit Message "robot" automatically tracks recorded messages and responds to requests from the gadget.
