Thursday, July 2nd, 2009Back to the Future on Voice
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009Read this article on voice services at Google. Back to the future.
I envisioned, founded and launched - with the help of John Borthwick, founder of Betaworks - AOL By Phone. That was ten years ago. We acquired Quack; a voice recognition company, to help launch it.
The service still works. It combines email, voice mail-location based services; mapping and more onto your phone. You could browse the web via voice; have your email read to you; and even respond. It was fast and very accurate. You could ask for a phone number; a map and directions; a movie time; a sports team score; and then place a call. It leveraged our data in MapQuest and Moviefone and Digital Cities. It used presence from AIM and our technology and platform in email.
Nice Words About Knuble Signing
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009Click here for a nice article about our signing of Mike Knuble.
In our war room under “Want to Sign”, Knuble is the first name on a list of five players so I guess our staff prepared well. He wanted to play here and “we got our man” so praise be and a job well done.
Onward to a continuous upgrade and improvement for our team all within our budget and within our strategy framework. Go Caps!
