Another song for the city.
“ It’s going to spur the market for video mail; it’s going to introduce more people that didn’t know anything about it to what can be done with their computers and webcams. ”
David Geller, Eyejot’s CEO in regards to Microsoft’s new Video Messages product.
Startups flattered by tech-giant “copycats” - Seattle Times
I sure hope so…
I struggled with the lack of adoption of video mail before, during, and since we started Eyejot. Uses are compelling and obvious for both businesses and consumers, but it has never made it past novelty/niche adoption. I actually don’t think it is a matter of awareness as David suggests, but rather a lack of want. The greatest benefits of video are best experienced bi-directionally, and in realtime. When I’m just leaving a message, I actually prefer email or txt.

Cub - New York City
Headed to NYC for Web 2.0 Expo this week. Looking forward to seeing family and meeting some of my online friends face-to-face. Also, my sister-in-law is “very pregnant”, and Brooke thinks I may have another nephew or niece by the end of the week!
Hello TeachStreet!
Friday was my last day at Mixpo. There were a variety of reasons in my decision to leave, but I think the biggest was a desire to work on something I am passionate about. When I joined the company in April, I was looking for structure, and a good organization to learn from, and while the role and the technology at Mixpo were a great fit, I don’t think I spent enough time thinking about the business and the product, and ultimately that just didn’t get me going in the mornings.
That said, I am extremely excited for my new gig, starting October 1, as a senior engineer at TeachStreet! Those of you who pay attention to this blog will know that I’m a huge fan of TeachStreet, and that I have been involved with the company from the start, via my friend and workout partner, Dave Schappell, who is TeachStreet’s CEO and Founder. When Dave first started TeachStreet, I was far too engrossed in Eyejot to consider joining, but I watched excitedly from the sidelines as he made his first hires, raised their first round of funding, and launched the site. When I mentioned to Dave that I was leaving Mixpo, and he presented the opportunity to join the team, I wasn’t about to let that chance pass me by again.
TeachStreet is such a great group of people, and a product that I absolutely love; I can’t wait to get started! — Well, after I take a few weeks off ;)
