Yahoo open Hack

By C Chaitanya
Got a confirmation for Yahoo open hack. So I will be attending the event representing KooKoo. Hope to meet a lot of developers and maybe come out with some cool mashups involving KooKoo. There are just so many Yahoo APIs, I can't wait to get started.

I had already mentioned some telephony ideas for startup weekend here.

I will add some more ideas below:

1. Local search over phone: We should be able to use the Yahoo local API for this.
2. Answers over phone: Use yahoo Answers and KooKoo playtext to dynamically play answers
3. Phone reviews: Maybe use Yahoo Updates API
4. Astrology/News etc over phone
5. Stock alerts over phone

If you have some ideas of integrating with yahoo, please leave them in the comments section.

Integrating Arborjs with Angular to create a live calls dashboard

By C Chaitanya
Arborjs  is a cool graph visualization library. Angular  is one of the best JavaScript frameworks and we have been using Angular in a lot of our front end development. When you handle millions of calls, proper visualization becomes very important. Without proper visualization, you can get lost in the mountains of data. So we spend a lot of time to come up with good visualizations to represent the data. Since we loved the cool way in which Arbor represented graph data, we could not wait to hook it up with Angular. Because of Angular's two way data binding, when you hook up Angularjs with Arbor.js you can get a dynamically updated visualization of graph data with cool animations. To give back to the community, we have put up the code online at Github . Basically we have created an Angularjs directive for Arborjs. Please feel free to fork the code and add extensions and use it for your own visualizations. The code is self explanatory with comments inline. Best way to get s

Telecommunication Revolution & Cloud Telephony

By C Chaitanya
Telecommunication Revolution & Cloud Telephony Every one talking that world power has shifted from west to east, next century belongs to India and China, as China is an aging country, everyone is betting very high on India. To find the reality, I have done a comparative study between India and western countries. The result was really depressing, in most of sectors/areas we are way behind the developed countries, except one sector i.e. “Telecommunication”. You can see in the above picture the call rate, which was at Rs 15.5/min has dropped to less than a Rupee/min. The telephone subscriber base has also increased a rate of 40% YoY (approx.). According to Mar’15 release by TRAI, India has 999.71 million telephone subscriber, now we are in Sep’15. We would have crossed 1 billion mark. This is the overall picture of telephone subscriber, but if we look internet and broadband subscriber base it is also very optimistic. Apart from that recently Airtel has launched 4G servic
