ADS-click Intros VoIP Pay-Per-Call with Google Talk

TMCnet VoIP Minute Watch Columnist
 
ADS-click, a provider of private-labeled advertising systems, announced it will expand its pay-per-call solution SKY-click to use Google Talk, at the same time the search giant released its Libjingle API suite.


 
Google's Libjingle is a set of components provided by Google that let your programs interoperate with the company's VoIP-based calling service Google Talk's peer-to-peer and voice calling capabilities. The package includes source code for the search giant's implementation of Jingle and Jingle-Audio.


 
ADS-click will use Google's Libjingle API to expand its VoIP system SKY-click to Google Talk. SKY-click is a technology that already interacts with Skype to provide with private-labeled VoIP click-to-call contextual and search advertising.
 
ADS-click will also release a 100 percent VoIP Skype and Google Talk call center during next year's first quarter. It will feature full call center capabilities, such as operator settings, language management, call history and integration with Customer Relationships Management systems. This call center will allow large and small companies to provide customers with live sales, support and training using video, voice and text messaging.
 
Google announced Google Talk back in August. Google will first be launching the client to be compatible with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The search giant expects to make the client Mac-compatible in the near future. According to AP's news report, Google Talk will require users to "have an account with the company's free Gmail e-mail system."
 
Google Talk's voice chatting feature does not include PC to PSTN calling and it "requires that both the caller and recipient have speakers and a microphone hooked up to their computers. It does not currently offer an adapter to which regular phones can be connected," AP reported.
 
It seems like Google caused quite a stir in the online chatting world when it announced the open standards-based Google Talk software client in August. Since the search giant's new, open standards-based text/voice instant message (IM) software client announcement hit the news wire, yours truly has come across at least two Internet communications companies showing interest in connecting to and being compatible with the Google Talk network.
 
TMC's VoIP Minute Watch reported on SIPphone Inc. announcing it planned to link its Gizmo Project (a Skype-like VoIP calling/text IM client) to the Google Talk network; and it heard from Akonix, an enterprise IM security company, announcing it will now provide full support for enterprise users of Google Talk.
