Apparently our account with our DNS provider has lapsed. We apologize for the downtime. DNS service has been restored and IMified.com as well as bot.im bots should be resolving soon.

Update 10:34am est: All IMified sites and bots should be resolving properly

Last month we announced the ability to “SMSify” your applications by providing you with a free SMS enabled phone number to connect to your IMified applications. We had a limited number of phone numbers available and quickly ran out. Today, we have added a bunch of new numbers to the pool and re-enabled the sms tab in the bot settings page. Grab one while they’re still available. Check out our previous post on the addition of SMS to IMified for more info.

Join us on October 7th for a free webinar when we will be teaming up with Voxeo’s VoiceObjects team to talk about building multi-channel applications that work across IM, SMS, twitter, the web, and voice.

Topic: IMify your voice application! Exploring new ways of customer interaction with Voxeo VoiceObjects and IMified

Date: Wednesday, October 7th, 2009
Time: 8am PDT, 11am EDT, 5pm CEST

Speakers:
Dave Hoff, Senior Engineer, Voxeo
Tobias Goebel, Sr. Presales Consultant, Voxeo Germany

Abstract: With the acquisition of IMified and VoiceObjects, Voxeo has demonstrated its clear commitment to be the number 1 provider of Unified Self-Service™: the idea that one and the same service definition can drive dialogs in any modality available to end customers, be it voice, video, SMS, USSD, IM, Web, or even social networks.

This jam session introduces IMified, Voxeo’s hosted platform for Instant Messaging bots, and explains how VoiceObjects can be utilized to build dialogs that extend the scope of customer interaction to Instant Messaging networks such as Yahoo, Skype, AOL, MSN, or Google Talk, but also other text-based channels such as SMS or Twitter. Learn how to IMify your existing VoiceObjects application with minimal developer effort but maximum customer impact.

If you can’t attend on Wednesday, we will post a link to an archive of the webinar for viewing later. Hope to see you Wednesday!
