Grats! That's a huge achievement. I remember watching Rose on TV when he interviewed Larry & Sergey many years ago.<p>"The average US teenager sends almost 2,000 text messages per month." wow..
It's hard to believe that some carriers actually wanted an exclusivity agreement. It's like they didn't think it through at all. I'm glad Loopt was able to convince them otherwise. That must have been a great feeling, to have changed someone's mind in a high level corporate type of way.
Awesome interview, congrats!! Sam definitely has the substance, he's just getting started.<p>While the trend with voice may be falling, I actually hate email/txt a lot of times (at least via the phone). I much rather have a phone call and make a decision quickly, rather than going back and forth. Texting annoys me, maybe I'm alone with that opinion.
Great interview, but didn't Sprint have an exclusivity agreement with Loopt at one point?<p><a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/11/15/loopt-may-be-friending-more-mobile-networks/" rel="nofollow">http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/11/15/loopt-may-be-friending-...</a>
Is anyone else worrried about facebook enabling LBS at some point down the road?<p>I love Loopt's features, but I cant help but think technology is no longer a barrier to entry. Providing a meaningful social graph is.
Sam, did you also get a life-time achievement award on your first birthday? some folks had to save humanity, a few times, before they could be on Charlie Rose :-P Congrats!
Charlie Rose is such a drooling moron. It's no wonder he's a popular talkshow host, as he must make the idiots that watch him feel they're not so stupid after all.
