Description
Clipppr makes it simple to bookmark, clip, and tag your press. We track the engagement and conversation: tweets, likes, shares, diggs, stumbles, trackbacks, comments etc. We show you how active the conversation is over time in a TopHits/BestSeller type chart, and alert you of major changes, making it easy to re-engage in the public conversation.

Drumbi
Position
hands-on advisor
From
Aug. 2011 - Present
Description
Today, all calls and the underlying infrastructure is based on "voice first, data second". Drumbi is rethinking this, and using the power of smartphones to deliver a new set of capabilities to the call experience.

Going beyond voice-driven IVR, Drumbi is focused on predicting what you want, presenting it dynamically, and creating a completely different experience when calling a business. No more phone menus. No more entering your account number. No more waiting on hold. Drumbi changes this.
