Like 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?

On IfByPhone, the moderator or host sees on the dashboard they dropped, clicks a "call 'em back" button.

Nice app and good design, however I have a problem with this and other startup projects I have seen in startup weekends that there is just not enough information before asking me to signup, where is the 'about' page?. Also, call me ignorant but how does someone trademark a slogan over a weekend (footer) - "The Conference Calls You™ "

As I understand it, it's actually been in the 'rules' of Startup Weekends past that you get one of these pages up as soon as possible.

Seems a little weird to me. Put stuff up when you've made clear choices about what you're actually going to do.

You 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: http://public.ifbyphone.com/about/press/ifbyphone-announces-...

If you invented it and noone knows about it, then you did not invent it.
