Launched My New Startup: Call My Red Phone

[Kyle Daigle]

Hey everyone -

Long time no "see". I figured since most of you are also Ruby startup/sideprojecters I'd share a project I'm proud to have launched recently.

www.callmyredphone.com

Call My Red Phone is a simple service that can provide you a business line without the need for a separate phone system. We found we needed it when we started working on side apps due to billing number needs and the inflexibility of Google Voice. I'd love to hear your feedback or any questions you have! Its a great and simple service for the micropreneur in all of us. :)

Thanks everyone. Hope we can get back together soon.

Good luck for sure! I'll be signing up.

Speaking of, any other members have ventures they'd like to pimp?
Might be an interesting topic :)
