SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - April 23, 2008) - Web 2.0 Expo -- At the Web 2.0 Expo this
week, Coghead (http://www.coghead.com/), a leading platform-as-a-service
provider, is demonstrating integration using BT's telco-enabled web
services (http://web21c.bt.com/). The collaboration between BT and Coghead
-- first announced last year -- makes it easy for Coghead developers to add
voice and messaging to web applications built on the Coghead development
platform. Today's demo offers a first look at the beta program that will be
announced later this year.
"By making BT's Web Services available to download via SDKs, BT is enabling
application developers worldwide to harness its multi-billion dollar
investment in the 21st Century Network. The collaboration with Coghead
makes BT's telco-enabled web services easily consumable by Coghead
developers, enabling them to create innovative communications-enabled
applications," said Joe Black, BT's Director of Business Development for
Emerging Technologies.
"Through our relationship with BT, Coghead developers have a simple way to
build innovative telephony-enabled applications. Today, we'll show Coghead
developers how they can easily build an SMS capability into a Coghead app.
The collaboration with BT really highlights the power and ease of Coghead's
integration framework," said Greg Olsen, Coghead's founder and CTO.
Coghead.com is among the top five percent of most-visited web properties
worldwide. The company's 100-percent web-based development platform
provides a simple, powerful way for developers, tech-savvy business users,
and IT professionals to create, manage, and deploy custom
software-as-a-service applications. Coghead's growing community of 35,000
developers create and publish applications in a matter of hours or days, at
a fraction of the cost of large packaged applications or custom development
projects.

On April 15, 2008, Coghead introduced the Gallery, an open-market exchange
that provides a global forum for application creators to publish their
Coghead applications. The combination of Coghead's visual web application
development platform, sophisticated workflow capabilities, unified
communications services and open-market publishing model completely changes
the way applications are created, marketed, and sold -- enabling
application publication and consumption without spending millions of
dollars on technology and business infrastructures. For live
demonstrations, please visit Coghead at Booth 521 at the Web 2.0 Expo in
