RED HERRING REVEALS COMPANIES SELECTED FOR THE RED HERRING 100 NORTH AMERICA 2007

Award Recognizes the 100 “Most Promising” Companies
   Driving the Future of Technology  

San Francisco, CA, April 4, 2007— Red Herring today announced that Jaduka is a Finalist for the Red Herring 100 Award, a selection of the 100 private companies based in North America that play a leading role in innovation and technology. 

The Red Herring editorial board diligently surveyed the entrepreneurial scene throughout the North American region and identified the top 200 out of more than 800 closely evaluated companies that are leading the next wave of innovation. 

Thomas Friedman predicts in The World is Flat, a Brief History of the Twenty-First Century that:

"Voice will become free.  What phone companies will compete over, and charge for, will be the add-ons.  The old voice platform did not lend itself to innovation.  But when you put voice on an Internet platform, all sorts of innovative options for collaboration become possible."

Jaduka today announced the availability of its new API that gives developers the best of both worlds.  The Jaduka API provides access to a services platform designed and built for innovation while maintaining all the benefits afforded by the standard Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). 

We've developed the API to facilitate quick and easy development of virtually limitless voice-enabled business applications that can be used with any existing telephone – wired, VoIP or wireless.   It's the services, stupid!

Jaduka recognizes that it doesn't have a corner on good ideas.  By removing barriers and providing developers with tools and direct access for the first time to the global public telecommunications infrastructure, we're inviting Web-to-voice innovators around the world to create the next generation applications.  As Friedman suggests, until today, this creativity has been constrained by bureaucratic telecom oligopolies or confined to limited IP-based private networks. 

The download is dead...  Jaduka is providing access to the network as a Web service - nothing to download and no bandwidth competition.  Developers will find it easy to program in their favorite environment - such as, Java, Perl, Visual Studio .NET or PHP – using Jaduka's common HTTP and SOAP interfaces.

Wired, VoIP or wireless - no matter how you talk, you're connected with Jaduka!
