A lively and interactive Squawk Box from San Jose California today!
We discussed Lifestream Aggregators — FriendFeed, Twitter, Plaxo Pulse and so on. There were a few people who shared their experiences, good and bad.
We also discussed Broadsoft's new eXtended — a platform play to compete with Ribbit in the web telephony mashup space.
And lastly, we debated whether native applications are really needed on mobile devices. Was all the ballyhoo around Apple's SDK warranted?
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.
