The Switchboard is a nice application that allows you to place calls right from your browser and your receiver also can use the browser to receive your call. This is the simplest solution to place a quick call using a browser.
Not only phone calls but it can handle instant messaging and voicemail among others.
List of Features:
- Internet phone calls
- conference calls
- voicemail
- instant messaging
- file transfer
- MSN, AIM, and ICQ compatibility
- works in corporate network environments (i.e. works through web proxy servers)
- email notifications
- 100% web-based, no installation
- portable
- works over modem connection
The service is free to use, it makes money by allowing website owners to place switchboard widgets on their sites.
“The cost of your private Switchboard will be $1 per simultaneous user, per month. The minimum number of users per account is 10, so the minimum charge is $10 per month.”
$10/month for 10 users is not a bad considering you can place on your website. [via Orli]

Nice app, but what is the identifier? user id, ip address, or what…?
Does this work with Firefox? If I have anything left in my PayPal, I’d give it a try 😉
It does look like skype within a browser
So this is like having Skype within the browser? Am I right?
