Unlimited Free Group Calling with Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- TalkShoe(TM), the leader in
Internet topic-based voice conversations, discussions and live interactive
podcasts, today announced the general availability of ShoePhone, an easy to
use service for unlimited group calling with anyone, anywhere, anytime. Up
to 250 people can participate in a live call (which TalkShoe calls
Talkcasts(TM)), and 1,000s more can listen to the simultaneous live
Internet audio stream. Users can also simultaneously text-chat, and
Talkcasts can be recorded and stored on TalkShoe's website for later
listening and podcasting. Talkcasts can be done instantly, or scheduled in
advance. ShoePhone is Free to use.
ShoePhone uses voice-over-IP (VoIP) technology to create calls.
However, unlike other VoIP services, ShoePhone users can connect with other
ShoePhone users as well as to people using standard telephones, mobile
phones, other VoIP services such as Skype, and 3rd party VoIP clients such
as SJphone and Gizmo. This is because ShoePhone is based on a telco-grade
conferencing system unlike other server-based VoIP-only services which have
limited conferencing capabilities.
"People want to talk. And people want to talk about something," said
Dave Nelsen, CEO and founder of TalkShoe. "TalkShoe and ShoePhone together
are a great tool for social networking. Our goal is to bring topic-based
interactive voice discussions to the masses."
ShoePhone is deeply integrated with TalkShoe's award-winning software
-- TalkShoe Live(TM), where people can simultaneously talk, text-chat, and
stream audio over the Internet. TalkShoe hosts and discussion leaders are
in control with features such as see-who's-talking indication, voice
muting, text-chat censoring, and request-to-talk queuing. TalkShoe also has
created numerous web widgets for people to easily integrate any live and
recorded Talkcasts into their social networking websites including MySpace,
Facebook, TypePad, Friendster, Webwag, Netvibes and Windows Live.
"ShoePhone makes connecting with TalkShoe quick and easy," commented
Aaron Brauser, Vice President of Product Management at TalkShoe. "There's
no need to enter IDs, phone numbers, or IP addresses -- just use a headset
and a PC or Mac."
