Zingaya was launched in North America on September 14, 2010 at the DEMO conference.[citation needed] Zingaya provides next generation click-to-call services. Using Adobe Flash-based Voice over Internet Protocol technology, the company provides an embedded widget that forwards an end user through a VoIP call to landlines, mobile phones, Skype accounts, or other computers – whichever the website operator has specified. There’s no download, and no phone is required for the caller. A visitor to a website simply clicks the “Call” button on the widget.[1]

In October 2010, Zingaya debuted their Zin.to service, which gives Twitter users the ability to have specific followers call them by clicking on a link that they tweet.[2] Like the Zingaya widget, the caller is calling through their web browser, and the call's recipient can choose where they want the call forwarded to.[3]
