Vivox Labs
When the Vivox engineering team is not making the best voice solutions in the industry today – they are thinking about what they want to do next. That’s what Vivox Labs is all about. It’s a Petri dish for all things voice. Innovations that are not quite ready for prime time are here to get their tires kicked and rotated until they are ready to hit the road. Enough of the puns, you get the idea.

WHO:
Vivox — the market leader in voice services for online games and virtual worlds — powers and delivers the best voice communication available.
WHAT:
The highly anticipated Vivox Voice for Facebook is now available in BETA for download and trial use. The easy-to-use, browser-based voice application combines the social environment of Facebook with the award-winning and highly scalable Vivox Network, enabling real-time voice chats with friends and groups inside Facebook.
Vivox Voice for Facebook provides a simple way to get a group talking – have virtual reunions, play games or conduct meetings.
Vivox is also making its technology available to Facebook application developers to integrate custom voice capabilities into their applications.
New features will be added periodically, including voicemail/voice pokes, voice fonts, recordings, phone access, 3D conversations and more.
WHY:
There are more than 300M users on Facebook today and social gaming is one of the most popular and monetized uses of the social networking site.
Vivox Voice for Facebook is one of the first new technologies to emerge from Vivox Labs, a new initiative designed to capture and incubate new ideas around using Web Voice. With this exciting new development, Vivox aims to make communicating on Facebook more personal – which leads to better and more meaningful connections with friends, family and communities.
WHEN & WHERE:
Beginning October 5, 2009, Facebook members can go directly to the Vivox Voice application page, and download Vivox Voice for free.
Upon installation, each user or group is assigned a dedicated voice chat channel where calls and participants can be managed. For those wishing to participate in a call but do not have access to Facebook, a call-in number is provided and can be used from any standard or mobile phone.

About Puggable
Puggable, a website that supports pick up groups (PUGs) commonly formed in MMOs. Gamers often have to find similar geared players in certain roles to achieve game objectives. Presently focused on the World of Warcraft community, Puggable assembles both character and instance data from the game so that players can easily build a complementary team. Once the PUG is set, they can use Vivox voice right from their browser, making it easy and intuitive for players to communicate while playing together.
