Jangl, which powers the anonymous calling feature on Match.com and several social networks, has expired. The founders are going to work for Jajah, which powers eHarmony’s anonymous calling service.

Sorry to hear the news, I like the Jangl team and their PR team was top notch. Hopefully Jajah will find a place for them where they can continue to build out their vision for Voice 2.0.

What does this mean for Match.com? When I click the “Talk to Her” link on a profile page it redirects me to the subscription add-on page which still says MatchTalk. Will the feature remain or will Match start using JahJah?

    Plentyoffish has removed sms and click to talk off the site as well because of Jangl… it’s in the forums and in Markus’ blog referring to a mashable.com article which talks about Jangl and it’s problems.
