CloudTalk — which touts itself as a “social communications platform that enables natural communication through voice messaging, texting and photo and video sharing” — unveiled its new Partner Program at SXSW in Austin, Texas.
The idea here is to allow mobile and web application developers to integrate a “whole new dimension” of voice, text and rich media to any application where the “power of human communication is important.” Interested companies can access a full range of social networking and communications services to deliver “compelling user experiences” while at the same time reducing time and cost to market.
As part of the Partner Program, atzip unveiled a free social meet-up application for connecting people who share similar interests and hobbies, allowing them to talk and text with other users by sending the so called “zip-ins,” which are short messages that describe what you’re in the mood for whether it’s coffee, a movie, or dinner, for example.
Additionally, the CloudTalk Platform can be customized to fit an array of other apps and services like group messaging, dating, education, celebrity broadcasting or internal communications apps…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
