Three emails are not "best efforts". 4.5 months notice is not "best effort". My opinion on best effort: I founded, ran, and sold a SaaS company used by some of the most well known companies in the world. Our "bes

Thank you for the feedback and for pointing out the typo on the technology page. We discussed the "language" issue extensively before this announcement. The fundamental challenge we faced was that this announcement - at this time - is not

Fuck that noise. Full Disclosure: I am the largest shareholder in Voxeo. I never went to college. I'm allergic to dust mites. I'm a habitual abuser of allergy medicines. I've listened to nothing but The White Stripes for three months and it

Thank you for asking. "Enterprise grade" can be a vague marketing term. This is what Voxeo means when we say PRISM is "enterprise grade": 1. Fault tolerant: Including the ability to do state-full failover of applications from one PRISM se

As Voxeo's CEO, I guarantee there will be no Tropo Ribbons ;)

Hi - and thank you sincerely for the points you made. I am writing this to provide context, not to disagree with you... Relatively speaking, Voxeo was as cheap 10 years ago as Twilio and Tropo are today. Everything about this business was

as akalsey said, Tropo is built on PRISM. http://www.voxeo.com/prism PRISM is a highly scalable, reliable, and extensible communications application server. It's a very proven platform and is used by several of the largest consumer and c

Woah there, your post is misleading and I want to make sure no one is confused as a result. You said you inquired about Voxeo/Tropo but the pricing you mention above has absolutely nothing to do with Tropo. Tropo is 100% free for developm

You make a great point, but it's also somewhat disingenuous ;) It takes some time to learn how to use a platform. It takes some time to code on a platform. The actual writing of code is easiest when you are doing small applications. Howev

Hi - Tropo should cost about the same as Twilio depending on your use case, but Tropo does alot more than Twilio for a roughly equivalent price. For example. Twilio just does SMS, Tropo does SMS and IM. Tropo adds speech recognition an

That's a great summary. A good analogy is that Tropo is 30% harder to learn than Twilio... but it can do 300% more than Twilio. We've got a big release coming that makes Tropo much easier to use. Entirely new documentation, sanded off som

If Tropo can do anything to help you in China please let us know. Asia is a key market for Voxeo/Tropo. We have two data centers there (Singapore and Hong Kong), as well as an R&D, support, and sales team with about a dozen people in

Thank you! We are working our actual and virtual asses of to make Tropo the best developer platform for all communications applications (not just voice and sms: also IM, Twitter, telephony-in-web-clients, etc). We are also working hard

International is hard. I know from experience. That's where Tropo has one clear advantage over Twilio. Tropo is built on the Voxeo network, which has ten years of international experience, is deployed world-wide (seven data centers), and

Freeswitch rocks. Great stuff, from a great team too. If you like Freeswitch, you'd probably like Tropo. Tropo lets you program directly in Javscript and other languages, just like Freeswitch. Tropo also lets you roll your own. You can d

Absolutely agree. Twilio is great at marketing and evangelism. Twilio is way ahead on that front. That's their DNA. Voxeo is great at feature innovation and platform implementation. Voxeo is way ahead on that front. That's Voxeo's DNA.

I'm Voxeo's CEO. First - Danielle I have the utmost respect for you and the marketing momentum you've been able to build around Twilio. However, saying the "quote is completely fabricated" is itself is fabricated ;) It's not a quote -

I'm Voxeo's CEO. Thanks for the summary of what Twilio makes possible. What nivertech (who you responded to) knows and was trying to say is this: With Voxeo (and others) a competent web developer has been able to create a telecom company in
