THOMAS HOWE CREATES ANOTHER MASH-UP WINNER!

Word has just come out that Thomas Howe is the first-place winner in the BroadSoft Xtended Voice Mashup Contest. Congratulations, Tom!

Howe ingeniously created “Disaster Dispatcher” integrating Twitter, BroadWorks and RSS feeds to provide a one-window communications tool for emergency operators.

More details from the BroadSoft press release:

By keeping all data in one window, emergency personnel can analyze the collection of information after the emergency to optimize response procedures.

"Disaster Dispatcher is a true mashup that integrates multiple services, a real use case, is Web-based and thus widely accessible," said John Musser, founder and blogger of Programmable Web, a site that covers mashups, Web 2.0 APIs and the Web as a platform. "Twitter notification and RSS integration are creative applications."

The first place winner receives $5,000 in cash and a trip to BroadSoft Connections 2008 with a free Solutions ShowCase booth. The package is valued at $15,500.

THOMAS HOWE ON SQUAWK BOX

Alec Saunders invited Thomas Howe of The Thomas Howe Company to Squawk Box for a debriefing on Telco 2.0, which took place in London last week. More a brainstorming session than a typical "booth" conference, Telco 2.0 employed interactive wireless technology to enable particpants to submit anonymous feedback and questions--making for some lively discussions on the gulf between carriers and innovators/disruptors.

Thanks for coming to the Comunicano blog.

After looking at the ways we communicate with the Bloggers, Analysts and Media we felt that it was time to change how to work with you.

If you're a blogger, an analyst or a member of the media and you cover either our clients or the space they are in, then you'll want to subscribe to our RSS feed.

As time goes on we'll make this more and more granular, but for now, this will be a far cry better than email.

Please let us know your thoughts.
