In today's 24-hr mobile business world aren't we always working when out of the office? Even though people turn these on, they still respond to email. So what exactly does being OOO mean?JamesSun, 23 Dec 2007 23:28:18 -0000http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2007/12/out-of-office-a.html#comment-45948Look at you...you couldn't be geographically further from the office and you're still responding.ceonycSun, 23 Dec 2007 17:27:02 -0000http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2007/12/out-of-office-a.html#comment-45926That's a funny thought charlie!fredwilsonSun, 23 Dec 2007 16:59:02 -0000http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2007/12/out-of-office-a.html#comment-45890Thanks for your comments, Fred. I'd removed the Feedblitz link from my blog, but it's up again, and we'll see if people are out there who prefer e-mail to online feed readers. I also traded e-mails with the company's founder and CEO, Phil Hollows. We'll watch this closely.Louis GraySun, 23 Dec 2007 16:16:13 -0000http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2007/12/out-of-office-a.html#comment-45598Who's ever really out of the office anyway? As if GOOG could e-mail you on Christmas Day wanting to buy your company and you'd say, "Oh, sorry, I'm out of the office until Jan 2., could I get back to you then?" <br><br>I don't want to do business with anyone who is ever "Out of the Office."ceonycSun, 23 Dec 2007 10:13:59 -0000http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2007/12/out-of-office-a.html#comment-45454It depends on how many subs I really have. FeedBurner says 80k. But so many<br>of those are not active, that its a totally useless number. I'd guess I have<br>more like 20k to 30k subs. And I have about 2k Feedblitz subs. So it's<br>something like 10% of my subs. But it's a very active 10% because it's<br>delivered to the inbox.<br><br>FredfredwilsonSun, 23 Dec 2007 01:54:02 -0000http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2007/12/out-of-office-a.html#comment-45418I haven't seen my Feedblitz be all that successful, and have considered even turning it off, to point people to RSS online. Sounds like you still like the service. What's the % of your subscribers who use Feedblitz of the total? Is it going up, or stagnant?Louis GraySun, 23 Dec 2007 00:35:55 -0000
