To be honest I expected smarter guy this pal sounds like idiot.
And about name first I taught it was brilliant idea to take “TechMeme”
From wikipedia:
The term “meme” (IPA: /miːm/, rhyming with “theme”), coined in 1976[1] by the biologist Richard Dawkins, refers to a “unit of cultural information” which can propagate from one mind to another in a manner analogous to genes (i.e., the units of genetic information).

That name was simply brilliant until I found out that is random and that author do not understands how cool the name really is.
As I said, he is an automated idiot.
That was one of the worst interviews I have ever heard…. So what could anyone learn from the interview? Jennifer, you went into that interview totally unprepared and it showed.

I know Gabe pretty well, and have for over a year.
Believe me, he’s one of the most intelligent people in the tech industry. Gabe is also very personable and well liked.
I suspect he was just a bit nervous being on the famed “Marketing Voices” show!

To Untitled Subscriber and Hello : First of all, thank you to both of you for taking the time to listen to Marketing Voices and comment. I really appreciate any and all opinions on the show.
I wanted Untitled Subscriber to know that Gabe is definitely a very bright man.
The day we did the show we sat out in his yard and there were lots of barking dogs who were very distracting. I had to edit the interview quite heavily so that the production was good and it may have affected the interview. To Hello:
I did want you to know I prepared for the interview. Since i had to edit it so heavily, it might sound as if i was not prepared as the flow of the interview was affected by the editing. However,I ran it as I felt Gabe still had some salient points to make and these points were communicated,I believe. Bottom line, thank you both for your comments and your candor. I hope you will continue to listen in the future.
I know, bad me… as I said interview just disappointed me a bit so I called names.
It is easy to “shout from the mass”, Gabe as that bad luck to be personal hero to some people out there and it is hard.
Keep on good work here at MarketingVoices and Gabe Rivera sorry for calling you “automated idiot” you are brilliant guy I know how complex it is to make site like yours. It mast to be great to have you on board.
