Monday, May 3rd, 2010 | located in Articles and Media Mentions | No Comments »

Computerworld’s Howard Wen reviewed four <free> online voicemail services that offer more a simple online voicemail box, and here is what he had to say about Ribbit Mobile:

“Compared to the webmail-like interface of Google Voice and to Phonebooth’s minimalist approach, Ribbit Mobile offers a more dynamic and colorful user experience. Its Web page is laid out like a virtual desktop. You can click on various widgets, such as a voice mail in-box and a phone dialing pad, and rearrange them to your liking. All of this is powered by Adobe Flash.

Ribbit Mobile’s strength is its Web phone calling, which lets you make and receive calls directly through the Web page, using your computer itself as a phone. Incoming calls can also be routed to your Web-phone accounts, including Skype, Google Talk or MSN Messenger.”

I love coming into the office and finding a little nugget of goodness to start my day off right. Today it is seeing the New York Times’ blog, Gadgetwise, naming Ribbit Mobile their App of the Week. Sweet.

From their website:

Among the most compelling features Ribbit…is the ability to have a single number that rings all of your phones…also transcribe your voicemail to an SMS or e-mail message so you can see which calls need immediate attention without checking voicemail. Voicemail messages can be forwarded, and you can record and e-mail audio messages. Ribbit also links your contacts with your Twitter and Facebook accounts, so when you make or receive a call you see the most recent posts from the person on the other end of the line.

Thanks Gadgetwise!
