Jajah signs up 2 million in first year

Congrats! It's been a year of innovation, experimentation, and growth. Here's Markus Rumler and Stephan Skrobar Jajah's sponsor presentation at the Blogtalk conference in Wien from October 2006.

Two demos in under six minutes.

Just to be clear, the technology is pretty straightforward for a VoIP geek. Jajah's innovation is in great user experience, simple embedding into web sites, and making it very easy for businesses to manage multiple accounts. Lots of extensions in one year: plug-ins for Outlook, Plaxo, OS X address book, Firefox, Google homepage, and mobile devices.

Jajah can do this quickly with lightweight code because all of the telecom stuff is centralized, running on servers. Skype must deliver lots of plumbing (p2p directory, audio and video, messaging, etc.) to each user. Jajah, on the other hand, just needs to get your phone number and the number of the person you're calling; their servers do the rest and the call goes over your regular phones.

Happy Birthday, Jajah!
