PhoneBoy was on town on business, so Timmy and I were able to catch up with him and take our initial blog/comment thread into live detail. It was clear he was up on the space, more so than some in the space itself! I asked him where he picked up this domain, given it has nothing to do with his gig at Nokia. He said he just took an interest and has been playing around with it ever since. I learned that he had been involved in my old friend Marcello's place Voxilla in the past. (Marcello - why the hell haven't you written anything about Jangl yet?)
Anyway, PhoneBoy (Dameon) totally got what we were talking about, with regard to futures. I explained that Jangl is now in a frame of mine that poses "Why would I want all my contacts to call me thru Jangl?"
I think we've figured out our privacy play, yet we're iterating it as we speak. Of most interest, is how Jangl will extend into personalization and control (and even entertainment). I did admit that those of us in the space will start to look more competitive once we all step up our respective traction levels. (And I CAN'T WAIT to announce some happenings to this end). Those of us that are succeeding will be expanding and begin to resemble each other, and I plan to be on the front end of that fun!
As Dameon mentioned in his blog, Krungthai was great.
