It’s getting harder and harder to get me to try things. I’m just snowed under. And not getting any less snowed under. More than 1,000 emails need my attention. But it’s worth trying. I do look at every email and try to answer them all. But it’s getting tougher.
David James of Blogmatrix kept trying. Sent me a few emails about his new product (BlogMatrix Sparks! 2.0). I didn’t answer him. But, I do keep those emails for when I have some time to try out new products. Today I did.
It’s a new kind of news aggregator. One that lets you listen to podcasts, watch video blogs, and then make your own!
Nice clean interface. I’m playing with it.
Here’s what he emailed me that motivated me to download it: “We’ve been killing ourselves out here — we’ve got a huge BitTorrent infrastructure for delivering data efficiently to auto downloaders, tons of free space, tons of free bandwidth, we’ve made it easy (almost trivial) to upload and download.”
What else did David do well? He got other people to talk about his product. Someone just posted about it to the videoblogging mailing list.
It’s the repetition. The persistence. That matters in this new micro-content world.
I highly recommend you check out BlogMatrix. Very nice.
