We were honored that our work with Voice Mashups was recognized as being one of the top innovations in the industry at the recent Spring VON conference. The fact that our firm was the only finalist representing New England let alone Massachusetts really surprised us.

Spring 2008 VON has come and gone, and it’s time to sit down in the lobby of the Fairmont in San Jose, get a glass of the house Chardonnay and wait for the JetBlue flight back home. On the one hand, many people were commenting how dead the show was, but my other hand [...]
Jeff’s right - there’s a VON blur. I’m still trying to sort out exactly how I’m going to find time to respond to the literally handfuls of cards in my pocket. Say what you want… my biggest piles of cards are from VON. Always.

The ECOMM presentation where we compared Voice to Corn grabbed a good deal of attention and comments. We will make sure to post the presentation later next week.
Most of the comments have been favorable with bloggers getting the analogy that corn is the oldest of commodities that has been gaining in importance and value [...]
Here’s some quotes from some of the speakers… thought you’d like to hear them.
