Explaining Voxeo in a 30-second video…
Continue Reading: Explaining Voxeo in a 30-second video…While out at ITEXPO in Los Angeles last month, I had a chance to meet up with Jeb Brilliant (yes, that’s his real name), someone who I had come to know through all the various Squawk Box conference calls/podcasts that I had participated in. He joined me as I was walking the show floor and then back at the Voxeo booth he asked if he could record a very brief 30-second video interview with me talking about what Voxeo does. He has now posted that video and you’re welcome to check it out.Technorati Tags: ccxml, commdev, dan york, danyork, itexpo, sip, voicemail, voxeo
