PhoneFromHere.com is a tool that allows users to create phone button widgets and add them to their own blogs, websites, social networks, and various other online pages. Once the widget is added, users use their internet connection, not a telephone line, to place calls right from the site. The PhoneFromHere crew believes that live voice chat is a feature that will increase and retain traffic to a website. Having a PhoneFromHere button enables this instantaneous form of communication and information exchange to take place. PhoneFromHere widgets are run through an opensource solution, enabling them to dodge firewalls more easily. Furthermore, users do not need to download any software to utilize this tool.

| "How can the PhoneFromHere tool compete against existing live voice chat systems that are already integrated into various sites?"Almost none of the existing voice chat systems on the market integrate directly with the host website. Skype is the obvious competitor and a big name, however unlike Skype PhoneFromHere.com does not require the end-user to download or install any software. The PhoneFromHere.com service uses a Java based technology which is browser and platform agnostic and seamlessly integrated within the existing website. This means in contrast to other methods of adding speech to the web, the website owner retains complete control over their consumers online experience as they continue to view the website for the duration of the conversation. | ||

| Hi, I am Georgia Brown, Project Manager at PhoneFromHere.com and I thought I might try and answer some of the questions that have been posed... "How may PhoneFromHere integrate with popular social networks and high-traffic sites?"In broad terms there are two main types of PhoneFromHere.com integration:Online Communities: PhoneFromHere.com will integrate with popular social networks by working directly with the existing communities within that network. For example; working with bands in MySpace, who want to add functionality to enable their fans to speak to each other, or working with Groups in FaceBook who have a common interest to discussion. The owner of that community would pay for this type of group audio service or alternatively there is potential to generate revenue to sustain the service via online advertising.Web-user to Business: PhoneFromHere.com supports person-to-person communication, putting businesses directly in contact with their web consumers. For high-traffic commercial sites uses might include customer services, help desk support or value add services for existing e-commerce functionality. Integration of PhoneFromHere.com in its simples form involves adding a link or button to the website, which when clicked by the end-user connects them directly with the business. The charging model for this type of integration can be compared to that of an 0800 or toll-free phone number, where the website owner pays a premium rate for a potentially valuable inbound call, for which their is no charge to the end-user. | ||
