Jyve Says About SKYPE API


The winner of the competition was Jyve, a Palo Alto, California-based company that decided a year and a half ago to create interactive web sites that could send voice mails, handle call forwarding, and automatically launch instant-messaging sessions.

The company added these features, even knowing that Skype was planning to add call forwarding and other similar features on its own.

“It was a way to get a little more buzz and attention,” said Andrew Hansen, vice president of business development and channel sales at Jyve. “We found very quickly that once we showcased our talent in integrating Skype into software, we became quite popular.”

In the two months since Jyve has released its application, it has heard from many potential hardware and software partners who want the company to build customer applications around its web tools.

For example, Jyve worked closely with Multi-Link, a telephony hardware company that wanted to produce a Skype adapter, on defining its Skype strategy.

“It’s very lucrative business-wise,” said Mr. Hansen. “We are positioned to take advantage of this new economy from Skype.”

He doesn’t feel threatened by Skype’s recent move to open its API more widely to developers.

“It will also open up a lot more opportunities,” said Jyve CEO Charles Carleton. “We’re fairly well positioned and far enough ahead of the curve so we may capitalize on the opportunities more than people who are new to the APIs.”

“It’s a big enough sandbox for everyone to play in,” agreed Mr. Hansen. “It’s like Microsoft, but on a smaller scale.”

Skype too is facing increased competition in the free VoIP market with Google’s entry into the market last week with Google Talk (see Google Learns to Talk). But Skype executives also claim they don’t mind the extra competition.

“It does change the dynamics of the VoIP space and the communications landscape, but we welcome the competition,” said Mr. Pryor.

He pointed out, however, that Google has not yet released any tools for developers to tie into its VoIP utility.

“They have yet to integrate very easily with hardware and software,” said Mr. Pryor. “Google hasn’t produced an API yet to make it extensible or to integrate with hardware and software. We have a competitive advantage there since we’re reaching out to developers from the beginning, but I’m sure Google won’t be far behind.”

Your post is great and let me say

A favorite pastime of mine is Sports Betting to make a few extra bucks.
My only problems is that I was never good at picking teams or games.
Recently I found a site that is like Sports Betting but I dont lose my money if my pick is bad.

Its a sports stock market, kinda like NASDAQ. which makes a big difference because if I buy shares in a team. I keep the stock whether they win or lose, but as a bonus I get paid divdends if they win.
So I can make money with dividends and also from selling high and buying low.

I buy shares in NFL, NASCAR, NCAAB, MLB, Golf, Tennis ect....
They just released Some Great IPOS's this week!
