Robert Scoble: Edge Case

by alec on January 16, 2006

We had the opportunity today to meet Scoble.  He’s as charming in person as he is on his blog.

I believe in desgning for edge-case scenarios.  Our developers hate me, because I do things like trying to load my obscenely large address book into our system.  Scoble’s the poster-child for what we’re doing. He needs relevance enabled communications technology.  We showed him some of the stuff we’re working on, and had a great conversation about what Relevance enabled communications would mean to a guy who handles hundreds of email and IM requests a day. 

Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make 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.
