Loading ...Kamla Bhatt did an audio interview with me earlier this week — it is available here.
I was looking through their site, and they seem to have done a fair number of very interesting interviews with people focussed on the indian entrepreneurial environment. The audio format also makes it more engaging relative to a text interview. And Kamla had researched well before the interview, which gave it more depth — watch out for her!
I think what an audio interview doesnt do well is allow people to scan randomly — would be great to have some tool to keep tagging key topics (even if it is manual, since the whole file is anyway edited manually) in-stream audio. So if you clicked on “views on internet businesses”, it could take you straight to that point in playback.
Very insightful interview.
As for skipping sections in audio (or even video), it should be fairly easy to do so; especially if the end-user is using the Flash Player to play the streaming or progressively downloading content. MotionBox offers such a functionality for online video streaming.
#1) nice history about the bharatmatrimony. Was terry semel here in india for this purpose itself ?
#2) Real estate looks especially attractive esp. if it can be integrated with maps, and other info - who wants to waste hours going to a location and then realizing there are no access roads
Thanks for pointing out Rithesh. Motionbox is a Canaan investee company.
