Squawk Box April 1 – microblogging systems.

by alec on April 1, 2008

Today's Squawk Box was about micro blogging systems. We had a healthy representation of folks discussing the why's and what for's of Twitter, Jaiku, Hictu and more.  A question of media type also led to a heated discussion around video calling and video micro-blogging.  All in all, one of the more interesting calls we've had.

Enjoy the discussion.  And see you tomorrow for our call with Marc Gingras of Tungle.

 

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.

You did Luca! It would have been valuable to have your perspective too… next time. I'm sure the topic will come up again.

I wish so many products did not have silly names!
