Despite the fact that Jangl's been out there forever, and received exactly three metric tons of blog coverage, they're still one of those companies that not everyone knows exactly what they do. They're essentially a convergence provider, allowing two way mobile access to social network messaging by utilizing VoIP technology. In English, that means they use the various development platforms on social networks to deliver messages from people's voices to your inbox.
An interesting tidbit I found out from the conversation was the the founders of Jangl are not just bussiness partners, but also bandmates. A true Web 2.0 success story, they found each other by way of Craigslist (see the original want ad below), and during the 'wait and see' portion of the funding process, performed gigs together under the band name El Desayuno. The band has actually published a CD (available on iTunes), and is quite good, in this humble geek's opinion. Check bits of their work out, both in the form of conversation about their company and clips from their music.
