Mashup Google Wave, Skype, and Asterisk = Ultimate Coolness
Originally posted on VoIP & Gadgets Blog, here: http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/skype/mashup-google-wave-skype-and-asterisk-ultimate-coolness.asp.
Skype (News - Alert) Journal wrote about one of the coolest mashups I've ever seen. Certainly one of the coolest VoIP mashups. Skype Journal explains PhoneFromHere Tim Panton's (News - Alert) demo that he gave at Astricon where Tim mashes up Google Wave, Skype, Asterisk (News - Alert) running Skype for Asterisk and Ibook to make Skype calls from within a browser-based Google Wave.
Not only is it sans Skype client, but it has recordings (labeled by person speaking) of individual utterances, so you can quickly playback what a particular person said at a certain point in time.
It's amazing to make a Skype call from a browser without running the Skype client. How do you ask? Well, it uses a browser-based Skype client using a IAX2 Java client to communicate with Asterisk which then communicates with the Skype network cloud. On top of it all you get Google (News - Alert) Wave's powerful collaboration capabilities.
Perhaps some IP address geocoding combined with Google Maps to show the speakers' locations might be nice addition to this mashup. Or even pulling down Facebook (News - Alert) profile pictures. There is definitely some awesome potential for this.  Maybe Google can even stick your Google Wave/Skype/Asterisk collaboration sessions into their newly released, centralized, Borg/hive, data-collecting, privacy-busting Google Dashboard?
