Profiting From IM and VoIP Services
Posted on: Tuesday, 8 November 2005, 09:00 CST
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Nov. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- FaceBridge Research (http://www.facebridge.com/) has a plug-and-play solution for networks and portals to profit from IM/VoIP service.
FaceBridge's patent-pending system allows individual users of any IM/VoIP network to charge each other for time spent communicating. For instance, one AIM user may charge $1.99/minute to be reached by another AIM user.
The FaceBridge system requires no changes to IM/VoIP networks and no changes to user software or behavior.
Users communicate using their normal IM/VoIP client software and automatically exchange payments while doing so.
For each paid communication, the service provider collects a transaction fee. And with millions of users, these fees add up.
With voice and video over IM/VoIP networks, paid communications are a viable business model for professionals, educators, musicians, entertainers, and many others. Once people realize they can profit this way, they'll find many ways to use this hybrid of communication and commerce.
The first public website to use FaceBridge technology can be seen at http://www.flavorsofa.com/. This site caters to Apple Macintosh users of AOL's instant-messaging service (AIM).
About FaceBridge Research:
