BroadSoft [1] and JoeDeveloper.NET have launched the first Facebook mashup to include carrier-grade VoIP features. JoeDeveloper.NET's Click2Message Facebook application talks to Broadsoft's BroadWorks VoIP application platform, so Facebook users can enable their friends and colleagues to call them through their Facebook profiles with a single click.

The Click2Message application enables click-to-dial using any device and Facebook users can add the application to their profile pages, allowing their network of friends and business connections to call them without revealing their own phone numbers to the caller. (If they are your friends, why would you need to hide your number? Hmm.) The basic Click2Message application is now available free of change to any U.S. based Facebook user; signup information for the free beta is available at http://marketplace.broadsoft.com [2]. A for-pay version with advanced bells and whistles such as low-cost outbound calling, call forwarding, do not disturb, and voicemail-to-text transcription, will be released shortly

Click2Message is the latest high-visibility application announced out of BroadSoft's Xtended Developers Program, following announcements combining BroadWorks functionality with Salesforce.com, ACT! by Sage, simulScribe, and Polycom. Developers get access to APIs to integrated advanced voice features with their applications.
