Voxeo Talks

At ITEXPO back in January, Eric Linask at TMC interviewed me in what has seemed to become a regular every-six-months routine. In the interview, I discussed:

• the Cloud Communications Summit and pushing communications out into “the cloud”
• security issues related to cloud communications
• what’s next in communications, including multi-channel communications (a part of which we refer to as Unified Self-Service)

The big black vehicle behind me was being raffled off as part of the event promotion… hence why we were there. (Wouldn’t it perhaps have been more interesting if we did the interview inside the vehicle?) Anyway… here’s the video: (and will astute observers notice anything about me that is different from the other videos I’ve done?)

If you are wondering what is going on with all these “Voxeo Speaks” videos appearing in our Voxeo Talks blog, here’s the deal – last week at ITEXPO I (Dan York) recorded several of the sessions in Thomas Howe’s Cloud Communications Summit with the intent of making them available through our voxeo.blip.tv channel. I have to use blip.tv because the videos are longer than the 10 minutes allowed by YouTube. But then, of course, I realized that to publish them to that channel in the way that I am currently using the channel, I needed to number them… and perhaps it’s just me, but I wanted them to be in rough chronological order with the other conference videos I have recorded.

So… I am basically “flushing the queue”, as it were, and getting some of the video I’ve had around for a few months up online. I’m almost there, but if you have worked with video you know that it takes a while to render. Over the next few days I should be all caught up.

I hope you enjoy the presentations – and yes, the lighting was horrible on that WPMU presentation… (well, actually the brightness of the slides caused the camera to reduce the exposure level).

P.S. And no, I don’t know why precisely I didn’t spin up a separate “blog” on the site specifically to house these videos. I still could… but now these are here in the Voxeo Talks stream. My thinking really was that people can subscribe directly to the blip.tv channel – and that we won’t have a zillion of these videos over the course of a year. I may revisit that thinking, though.

Two weeks ago out at ITEXPO West 2009 in Los Angeles, Erin Harrison from TMCnet interviewed me (Dan York) about what Voxeo has been up to and where we are going. Amusingly, it didn’t really dawn on me why we were sitting in front of a green backdrop until I saw the end result and the fact that we now appear in front of a bunch of city buildings.

In any event, those of you interested can now watch the video here:

You can also view the video at this link, although if you go there, you have to watch an ad before viewing the video.

Want to learn more about what Voxeo is doing these days? Or about how our acquisitions of VoiceObjects and MicroMethod fit into our overall plans?

Back in early February, I (Dan York) was down at the Internet Telephony Expo (ITEXPO) East 2009 show in Miami and sat down with TMC’s Eric Linask to talk about what is new with Voxeo.

I recently noticed that TMC has added the ability to embed their videos, so while you can also view the video on TMC’s site, I thought I’d also share it here.

I should note that this video is now three months old, so some of the numbers I shared here are no longer correct (ex. we now have had over 35,000 developers build voice apps in our Evolution Developer Portal), but overall the information is still accurate. (Well, my title has since changed to “Director of Conversations”…)

If you are planning to be out at the ITEXPO West 2009 in September in Los Angeles, you’ll probably also find me there…

Over on the Emerging Communications Conference (eComm) blog, organizer Lee Dryburgh has started releasing videos of the eComm 2009 presentations. All the presentations were recorded and are currently going through post-production to be uploaded to the eComm site. Lee indicates that they’ll be released over on the eComm blog as they are post-produced over the weeks and months ahead.

The first one out is the fun presentation by Ge Wang, called New Expressive Social Mediums on the iPhone which talked about his work at Smule to produce iPhone applications like the virtual lighter and more importantly the Ocarina musical application. I enjoyed his presentation because it was, well, just so different from what you typically find at conferences in our space. Here it is for your viewing pleasure:

And okay, how many of you went to your iPhone and bought Ocarina?

Keep an eye on the eComm blog to see more videos appearing soon…
