Back to the Future on Voice
Read 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
Click 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!
