Ham radio or amateur radio communications has been around since the early 1900s. Ham radio technology has kept pace with traditional communications and may even be the only technology that allows people to communicate in natural disasters. Ham radio operators can communicate over very far distances using HF (high frequencies) as well as through satellites via AMSAT and even using VoIP over the Internet using EchoLink, IRLP, or D-STAR!
Congrats to Ted Gilchrist for his “Moveable Weather” app being chosen as Programmable Web’s “Mashup of the Day” for today, November 15, 2010. Ted wrote about Moveable Weather at some length on this blog and has more info at his project wiki on Google Code. Ted went on to create a variation on this called Moveable Tides which he also wrote about here. Ted was also the creator of the python library for the Tropo Web API and continues to experiment with various ways to mashup Tropo and location-based services in particular.
Over on his blog, mashup king Thomas Howe introduces a new Mobile Mail List application for use with Tropo.com. As Thomas describes it: (more…)

You can try it yourself using either a Skype or SIP connection: (more…)
At Voxeo, we love clouds but we don’t have our heads in them all the time. We realize not every developer wants to write applications in XML. There are lots of developers with lots of ideas, but they want to write their apps in the languages they’re already using. So we decided to do something about it – we created Tropo.
