Lyppit or Ribbit

January 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Erik Lagerway, VoIP entrepreneur  and Co-Founder & CEO at Gaboogie (the home of Lypp) started yesterday a discussion comparing Ribbit with the Lypp API. While I am not sure if this was Erik’s intention, Andy Abramson turned on the fire, by describing Erik’s post as extremely combative.

“… has taken the gloves off, grabbed the Ribbit guys by the jersey and just given them a pounding”

I see it in a different light. Both companies should be applauded for  developing Voice 2.0 platforms. But they are different. Ribbit is a high profile VC funded company, while Lypp seems to be low profile and self funded (correct me if I am wrong). Ribbit  bills itself as revolutionary  while Lypp just gets the job done. You might compare the two to a flashy sports car and a Chevy pickup. If you are a handyman you may go for a night on the town with the sports car, but you still will drive your Chevy for  your day job.

Is this a voip version  of The  Tortoise and the Hare?  If so who will win? Both I hope!
