| Jangl Debuts New Application on Facebook Platform Jangl has debuted its Jangl application on the new Facebook Platform, bringing calling and texting capability to the site's more than 24 million active users. With the Jangl application, Facebook members can talk on the phone without running the risks associated with swapping personal numbers. Jangl gives anyone online a simple and easy-to-use way to let people initiate phone connections with them, while preserving the anonymity and privacy of both the caller and the callee. With just a few keystrokes, the Jangl application generates a private phone number enabling people to connect with their Facebook friends over any phone, without exchanging their true phone number. Moreover, Facebook members who take advantage of the Jangl application will be automatically eligible to use Jangl's new, easy-to-use service that lets consumers call anyone with an email address, anywhere in the world. With yesterday's debut of its new service, Jangl gives everyone – from social network friends and IM buddies, to auction or classifieds buyers and sellers, to bloggers, indie media, and their audiences – a more flexible, safe, manageable, and inexpensive way to talk by phone. The new Jangl service, now available in 32 countries, is the first to connect people online to people on their phones, without the need for headsets, downloads, or installations. Facebook Platform, announced at Facebook's F8 event in San Francisco, enables companies and developers to build applications for the Facebook website. Jangl's new service enables several game-changing capabilities for billions of consumers: - Call anyone: Connect via your mobile phone with anyone in the world, for free, simply by knowing someone's email address. - Keep your real phone numbers private at all times. - Want to be called? Add a simple Jangl web address to your email signature to let people connect with you even when you're not online, or post a customized Jangl widget to your online profile. - Control your phone access and manage Jangl voicemails, numbers and relationships online. - Use any of your personal phones to connect – mobile, landline or VoIP. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
