Voxeo Talks

Each morning here at eComm in San Francisco (June 27-29) at 7:45am US Pacific, I (Dan York) will be joining Andy Abramson for a one-hour live broadcast on the VoIP Users Conference (VUC) audio and video bridge.

You can join the call and listen in via the contact info found on the VUC site. If all you want to do is call (and not use video), you can use any of these ways to connect:

• SIP: 200901@login.zipdx.com
• Skype: vuc.me
• Regular old PSTN phone: +15672522286

We[1] are doing this all three days of eComm and are planning to somewhat randomly pull in speakers and others that we see in the eComm breakfast area. Today we’ve already lined up:

• Alec Saunders of the new Voice 3.0 Manifesto fame
• Todd Carothers of CounterPath
• Erik Lagerway of HookFlash and other VoIP ventures

Not entirely sure what we’ll cover, but you can be sure that Alec and I will probably get into my response about what’s wrong with his Voice 3.0 piece

We’ll also have the usual VUC IRC backchannel active at #vuc on Freenode. More info on how to connect, including a web IRC interface, can again be found on the VUC site.

As I mentioned, we’ll be broadcasting live every morning at 7:45am Pacific. Stay tuned for more info…. and if you are at eComm and want to participate… find us!

[1] Where “we” equals some combination of us… I’m actually now flying home on Wednesday so I will not be part of the Wednesday morning broadcast.

All in all it promises to be an outstanding event and we’re looking forward to meeting folks and helping advance the evolution of our industry! See you there!

Have you visited the Voxeo YouTube channel lately? A bit ago we received word that our YouTube account was granted permission to upload videos longer than the normal 15 minutes:

Given that, we’ve started to upload our past Developer Jam Sessions and Best Practices webinars. The beauty of YouTube is that the video is automagically converted to formats that work on different computers and devices, including tablets and smartphones.

Some of the longer videos we’ve now put online include:

• Taking Customer Service to the Cloud (Webinar with Voxeo, Chrysalis and Daniel Hong from Ovum)
• Best Practices in Deploying Communication Applications: Cloud vs On-Premises vs Hybrid
• How Do You Hear Me Now? The Power of Wideband (HD) Audio
• IPv6 and How It Impacts Communication Applications

We’ll be uploading other past webinars and will also be uploading new sessions up to the YouTube account.

Please do check it out and watch some of the great content we’ve got up there!

P.S. If you are a frequent YouTube user, just click the “Subscribe” link on our YouTube channel page and you’ll be notified whenever we post a new video.

More companies are taking customer service to the cloud — from inbound and outbound IVR to two-way text to mobile web interactions.

• Is hosting your speech self-service solutions the right choice for your business?

If you’ve been watching our Twitter stream or following our Jam Session site, you probably know that we have a free webinar today (June 9, 2011) in about an hour on the topic of “wideband audio” (also called “HD audio” by some): “How Do You Hear Me Now? The Power of Wideband (HD) Audio”

What you may not be aware of is that you can now use wideband audio to join into today’s call. Information is available on the Jam Session web page.

If you can’t join the call today, a recording will be available. (Alas, the recording will NOT be in wideband audio as GoToWebinar does not currently support wideband.)
