The typo in the title of this very HN submission is a perfect demonstration of why this startup has an awful name…
Happy to take suggestions for a name change....

#32Cool idea! Agreed that the name/URL needs to change, as demonstrated in the title of this original post. I love the simple, clean design/branding, very well done, especially for a weekend's worth of work.
Re: Bridge.me meetings that call you
#33Like the idea, but how do you get it to call you back if you drop off or if you miss the call? Is there a dial-in also provided for those situations?
Re: Bridge.me meetings that call you
#34<3 the look. Also <3 the content. Also Also <3 url.
Re: Bridge.me meetings that call you
#35Since you are making outbound calls, I'm curious how you will handle verification of phone numbers? It looks like I can enter whatever phone number(s) I want, which seems like it could be abused by spammers.
Re: Bridge.me meetings that call you
#36Love the design.

#38You should also checkout CallMeMeeting. Same weekend, same problem, same solution -- two different startups, two different cities. They won 2nd place winner at KC Startup Weekend. Mentioned in preso ... already selling service to large beta customers. Nice job to both teams. Love the concept!

#39Earlier quoted context omitted.
Oops. It is a startup weekend project, I supposed they could get a better name once they get some sleep.
Which StartUp Weekend did you participate in and is this winner of your event? I attended one in my hometown of Baltimore - huge turn out and was a sold event. Can't wait to do another Start-Up Weekend!
I was at the NYC one this weekend. Bridg.me stood out as one of the best of the weekend, for sure. I was surprised that Playmob won, though they seem like they have a solid business model. Disappointed at coviewer.tv, to be honest.
Anyhoo, winners here:

#40You have to love it when a service comes in and completely changes the way you think about the problem it is solving. This falls into the "What in the world didn't anyone think about this before?" Great solution.
IfByPhone's conferencing does this, they call it "Smart Conference". Love it, nobody joins the call late. Freaks people out. Some even tell the group, "Hi, this is Joe, sorry I can't talk right now, I need to jump on call." "Um, Joe, you're on it."
PS. IfByPhone offers an API for it too:
