Are you frustrated by those irritating robots that answer the phone at virtually every corporation today? You know… “press 1 for sales, press 2 for support…” Well, you’ll want to listen to this call then. Shai Berger was my guest on the Squawk Box today. Shai is CEO of Fonolo, which has developed an innovative application to map those phone trees, and let you navigate directly to the person you need.
The application is in private beta right now. There will be a public beta by September as well.
Enjoy the show. And now, I am going to go and take in the remainder of the holiday monday here in Canada.
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints.

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.
