I had a great discussion with PhoneBoy yesterday. He had questions about iotum on his blog from last week and concluded "Maybe I’ll find the time to chat up Alec Saunders and he can tell me how this all works." I called him from my car on the way home through the snow last night. Unfortunately, you can’t use Live Meeting to do a demo while navigating snowy winter streets. Reached him in Port Orchard WA, which is a beautiful spot. Anyway, you can read what he wrote after the conversation here. His Becky concept is cool. Conceptually speaking, the notion of wrapping the iotum Relevance Engine in an IVR is a powerful one.
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry maker Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
