BT Kills the Rabbit, err Ribbit

Ribbit, which was acquired by BT, and which Ribbit claimed was "Silicon Valley's First Phone Company" has been killed. Ribbit was a cloud-based phone system with APIs to integrate voice communications into business applications such as Salesforce.com, CRM systems, call center applications, and social networks. It was a promising concept.

So is cloud-based voice dead? That'd be too bad, since Fonality just released a Cloud VoIP for Dummies book just yesterday. Well, one defunct hosted voice platform doesn't make for an industry trend. We've still got Google Voice, Phono, Twilio, TeleSocial, and others that are going strong.
