Facebook Application for Simyo developer’s competition
Since I went to the introduction of Facebook in Spain a month ago, I’ve been designing and programming a small prototype of a VoIP application to offer free calls for social network users without installing any software or buy any hardware. The cost of the call is covered with direct advertisement. This is the application I’ve presented to the Simio’s Facebook programming conquest.
I’ve made a video showing how it works, what you can do with it and the commercial possibilities and monetization of the application. The video speaks Spanish but I’ll dub the video if there is demand.

I expect the judges to like my application!
The software is based in the VoIP java prototype I programmed for my final research project but only in the experience I adquired because I ended hating java as much that I developed this new one entirely in PHP. I’m in love with scripted languages.
At the end the big problem has not been the software but the hardware. Right now I’m still configuring the machine that runs the VoIP backend. I expect to finish as soon as possible so I can polish the web interface of the application.
Programming the application has been a lot of fun because programming for facebook is easy as cake and mixing web developing and VoIP technologies is super atractive for me (And I think is going to be a huge bussiness in the next years). Plus the motivation of the conquest it’s pretty interesting indeed
