Vivox Labs Debuts with Voice Mashups for Facebook and "World of Warcraft"

Vivox announced the opening of Vivox Labs, an initiative designed to capture and incubate new ideas around using Web Voice to create voice and web mashups.

The first two innovations to come out of Vivox Labs are Vivox Web Voice for Facebook, a way for friends and groups to seamlessly talk on Facebook, and Puggable.com, a website for World of Warcraft players creating pick-up groups (PUGs) with voice chat, character data, and boss tactics.

“We created Vivox Labs because our team was bursting with new ideas to combine voice and web products. This new initiative enables us to work on new ideas, experiment with Web Voice, and leverage what we learn for the benefit of our users and partners,” said Monty Sharma, co-founder and VP of product management and marketing at Vivox.

"The first two projects coming out of Vivox Labs are extraordinary examples of the passion and talent of our team and the adaptability of Web Voice,” Sharma added. “While we are excited about the potential of these early efforts, we know our partners will take these tools and further innovate them as gaming and the social web merge.”
