Ribbit got a lot of coverage when it was first released, but what is it?
From their website: "As Silicon Valley's first phone company, we will give developers the tools to let communication transcend carriers, networks, devices and technologies, and let it integrate into the way we actually live, work and play today." In other words, it's yet another VoIP platform.
Um yeah. We have a lot of those already. I'm with David Beckemeyer on this one: it's the solution to a problem nobody has.

as a small developer i was at first quite excited about being accepted into the developer program and see what ribbit was all about. i have become disenchanted a bit by the very closed nature of the program/network. any developed application will work only via the ribbit proprietary network and the proposed customer pricing is way out of line for VOIP in my opinion. you hear a lot of comments like ‘we will not be about cheap calling but high value applications.’ well i do not see much success in softphones for expensive calling..
Exactly, where’s the value? Soft clients are nearly free as it is. Better give some real good value and so far, I don’t see it.
