I am a fifteen year veteran of media and information technology, who at the outset saw the possibilities of computer and system aided message making. As an early adopter, I was on email, on message boards, on websites; worked on the first streaming concert; introduced live streaming news content to my market; integrating bit torrent; and now excited about the future of Computer Mediated Communications can bring.

In my philosophy, it's data that we're in the business of.

As far as whom I have worked for, it's an alphabet soup. NBC, ABC, CBS, UPN, PBS, MTV; and consulted for municipal and media organizations. As for academic credentials, I have a BA in Telecommunications, Information Sciences & Media from Michigan State University. I graduated Magna Cum Laude, with a MA in Information Technology Management from Michigan State University.

I have an intellectual property development firm, Tucknologies, where I provide project management, technology, media and marketing consulting. I am the CIO of VS Marketplace, due to launch in October 2012.

I should probably disclose that I also edit and contribute to Wikipedia, as part of their Public Policy initiative.

5|9|13   |   2:12   |   No comments

Skype/Outlook UC integration means we're going to have competition and fragmentation of UC client architectures, but is that bad? Modern devices can support IM, email, voice, and video clients, so maybe it's the back end of UC we need to be worried about.
