Square Circle is a full-service creative agency offering innovative and effective solutions and we are the creators of the Chalkboard phone. Our team forms a creative melting pot where visual artists, multimedia designers, developers and producers interact to create award winning solutions across internet, broadcast, CD/DVD and print. Our development team has been working in Flex for two years, creating a wide range of RIA's including Enterprise Wide/Commercial Flex Applications.
The Ribbit Phone component offers our team significant new opportunities to integrate the component with other applications to provide a rich user experience. We are impressed by the rich feature list that is included and voice support is something that has been missing in the browser for quite some time. The Ribbit Phone component fills this gap, meaning that any Flash 9 based applications can now support voice features, opening up a new world of possibilities for users and developers!
The clear concise documentation and code samples make the component really straightforward to use. Our team began calling on methods in a matter of minutes. We created the chalkboard phone project to target social networking groups, taking advantage of the growing trend of mass markets craving customized, exclusive products.
The chalkboard phone was inspired by nostalgia with an air of fun and playfulness. We wanted a phone design that would feel at home on the many social networking sites, bringing this era to the online world. The phone allows users to make/receive calls, record and send voice messages, and manage contacts. The interfaces are highly dynamic and visually enticing. Once users and developers experience Ribbit, the viral effect with be unleashed and the way people connect will be positively changed from that moment on!
