We welcome Jason Goecke and Dan York back to talk about some of their newest services. When “JSON” talks, ideas become reality! Check out the new Tropo API.
Tropo is a cloud communications platform that makes it easy for you to quickly add voice, instant messaging (IM), and SMS to your applications, using the programming languages and tools you already know using a web services API and JSON.
On this call we talked about the newest features in Tropo and how to get started with telephony apps in the cloud without adding new infrastructure. In fact, at least one person created a developer account and wrote a short application!
