I’ve done a lot of things in my career, but winning this award is probably the highlight.
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.

P.S. Yes, the podcast interview will be posted soon…
Wow, what an amazing accomplishment. Iotum’s mention in today’s Globe deserves more congratulations. Good job!
Thank you all!
Sue – to answer your specific question, the iotum Relevance Engine is applicable to any real time communication. We haven't done IM at this point, but certainly we know that it's as much an interrupter as the phone.
Not having seen you since university, and before that high school, I have to say, “nice demo!”.
Question for you: will the next demo include a scenario around instant messaging? Phones barely ring in my office anymore but IM is the real interrupter these days.
