What differentiates TringMe?

Some of you asked us - what differentiates TringMe in the web-based telephony arena where there are already a few players.  Let me explain:

At a high level, existing web-based telephony services can be categorized as following:

  1. Services that act as middleman-connecting caller’s phone to callee’s phone. Most companies (e.g. jajah, jaxtr, click2voice etc.) fall into this with varying feature-sets.
  2. Services that require user to install a plugin of some sorts or a program and then the user can use the service to place calls. A few companies (e.g. Gizmocall) fall into this category.
  3. Services that do not require user to install anything and provide pure web based telephony experience. As far as we know, TringMe is the only one in this category so far and that is one of the key differentiators, we believe.

There is much more from TringMe. TringMe’s flash-based telephony platform is quite flexible and powerful. Although, we launched by introducing a web-based telephony widget, there are more applications planned based on our platform.  We are already working with few companies and individuals to create more applications based on this platform and you will see few more applications very soon.
