We started out with a great set of topics for the Squawk Box this morning and then… disaster struck. The recording stopped. Currently we at iotum are working with our hardware partner ThinkEngine to find a resolution to this problem, but occasionally it strikes. Anyway, the result? Although we had a great conversation about four topics, you get to listen to the first two only.
Enjoy the call. We discussed the use of Twitter as a communications bus on the internet, and also Microsoft’s decision to adopt ODF, PDF, and the XML paper document formats.

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.
