Voxeo Talks

Last week with our Motorola announcement, we quietly introduced a new section of this website… something we are calling the rather not-flashy-yet-totally-accurate name of “Voxeo News”:

This actually came about after our CEO, Jonathan Taylor, asked if there was a single link to all our Motorola-announcement-related content that he could post in his Facebook status. We realized that because we do not just post a news release, we do need some way to aggregate all the content we put online as part of an announcement. Consider that in a typical news release, we publish some variation on the following:

• the actual news release going out on the wire and posted on our main web site;
• a post here on Voxeo Talks about the news in a less formal writing style;
• a video podcast on Emerging Tech Talk either interviewing a person involved with the announcement or having me speak about what the announcement means;
• a post on Voxeo Developer’s Corner about what the announcement means to developers;
• a post on the Tropo blog about what the news means to developers on our Tropo.com platform;
• a post on the VoiceObjects Technical Blog about how the news affects developers using our VoiceObjects service creation tool;
• a post on the IMified blog about how the news affects developers on our IMified platform;
• a post on Speaking of Standards if there is an angle of the announcement related to open standards.

It can be a lot of content – and Jonathan’s comment made us realize that we need to provide some way to aggregate links to all that.

So we’ve launched this new section. For each of the announcements we do in the future, we’ll be creating a page that includes:

• links to all of the content we publish.
• links to coverage of our announcement by others.

To include the latter content we will obviously be updating each page in the hours and days after the announcement goes live. You can see the first example here:

Now, in this particular case we didn’t generate a large number of posts because the news did not have a direct, immediate impact for our various developer communities. It does, though, show the direction of what we’ll be doing in the future.

We’re always looking for more ways we can help you all learn about what we are doing – if you have other ideas about how we can make our content more accessible to you, please feel free to leave those ideas as a comment here or email me directly. Thanks.
