Synergies
Mashups combine components and web services to create compelling and interesting applications. At VoIPMashups, we tend to focus in on the business centered applications, such as our After Hours Doctor’s Office, or our Notification Application. Time and time again, we come back to the same web services, because we find them so valuable:
- Amazon Web Services : We use Amazon Web Services for many of our mashups, especially Amazon Mechanical Turks. Turks allows us to insert Artificial Artificial Intelligence into our applications, opening up a world of functionality and flexibility previously unknown in computing. EC2 and S3 give our mashups nearly infinite scalability and Internet robustness by giving us a simple way to implement cloud computing.
- Voxeo : We continually go to Voxeo to provide us with rich user interface front ends, and sophisticated out-dial functionality.
- StrikeIron : Our SMS and data validation services come from Strike Iron. Once you have an account with them, you can use any of their pay-per-use Web services, making the administration really easy for us and our customers.
Who inspires us? Where do we spend our online time?
- Programmable Web : The go-to place for APIs and mashups.
- 37signals : Our heros
- O’Reilly : Our mentors
