Episode 40 of the PodLeaders show - 5 mins 08 secs
My guest on the show this week was supposed to be Jeteye’s CEO David Hayden but David didn’t show up for the interview. I sat on the conference call line, patiently listening to the hold music, expecting him to arrive for over 17 minutes (I’m a little slow to catch on to these things!) but no-show. I emailed my contact, nothing. I called her, nothing. I re-checked my email and sure enough the time and numbers were correct.
Now, if something had come up, I’m not a hard guy to get hold of. All my contact details are in the sidebar on the right and my blog is readily found in a Google search.
Now I did a bit of research for this podcast including trying (and failing) to set up an account at Jeteye so in order that that research doesn’t go entirely to waste here is a recording of the questions I had prepared for David and the hold music I listened to.
David can you start off by telling us a little bit about yourself - what’s your background? How did you get to be CEO of Jeteye? - 01:05
Now what exactly is Jeteye? Why would I want to use it? What kind of problems does it solve? - 01:27
I tried to sign up for an account earlier but failed ‘cos I couldn’t read the CAPTCHA on the sign-up form. Are there any plans to do away with the CAPTCHA (you already do an email verification system)? - 01:45
I persisted but after successfully verifying my account following the email, I tried to login and was given a sign in failed error. I followed the procedure for lost passwords and it told me it was going to email me my password. That was about an hour ago and still no email. Is there any chance you might do a bit of work on your login procedures David? - 02:13
You have several competitors in this space - Google Notebook, Yahoo MyWeb, Microsoft all have offerings - how does Jeteye differentiate itself? - 03:26
You announced back in June a partnership with Yahoo! Talk to me a little about that. How did that come about? What it means for Jeteye and so on? - 03:57
And finally, how do you see this space developing? - 04:19
