ChoreCoin

Foone had a great article about the https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1190784395356950535 device. So I made a joke that today they'd have your allowance on the blockchain, with an Alexa "CleanRoom" Oracle that rewarded you with "ChoreCoin".

Turns out someone beat me to it....

Heirloom

"Heirloom" [1] - you keep using that word, I don't think you know what that means.

The sad thing is these folks are pivoting to an Alexa Task product. It tries to create a spoken story based on a set of photographs. Least compelling product ever...

At some point we're going to need to find a way to allow people to use new products without losing data.

Aunt asks me about Alexa vs Google Home..

Being diligent I check for requirements... and just like that Google Home is out of the running.

Not everyone has or wants a Smart Phone and I find it embarrassing that Google; the company that benefitted strongly from the Web can't ship devices that are web enabled.

[I'm also looking at you Google Wifi, you promised us a Web UI a couple of years ago too...]

Top 10!!!!

It's been a lot of work, but Hi5 has now broken into the Alexa top 10, only 6 months ago we were treading water in the mid 40s.  We're quickly gaining on Orkut with Facebook nipping at our heels.
