The past one month has been super exciting at the Voicetap Office – and is just not because of the Red Herring Asia 100 that we won last month but also because after many all nighter’s and pizza parties, our flagship product is up and ready. And as I speak, at this very moment a gang of secret beta testers are trying out the product and giving it a spin. A lot has been done but let me say – quite a lot needs to be done. Nevertheless the Team has been partying like never before. Thanks to Dada and Sudhir and of course Dev – the feedback definitely looks promising and in times to come we shall open the product to more and more people.

Voicetap as a Red Herring Asia 100 Winner

Btw just in case you are curious and excited about the phone product, let me share a brief teaser about the product –

A phone based product that allows you to connect to experts across 4 verticals – Career, Education, Health and Money by simply dialing into a number and searching for the experts.

Excited ? – Well we all are, and in case you are unable to hold your horses and want to give this a spin – drop me a mail or drop your email id in the comments section below and I will add you in the second set of users who will be invited next week. Btw to get more dope on what the Voicetap team is doing – do follow @voicetap on twitter and the CEO’s Blog .

Also here is some good news - We are heading towards Red Herring Global 100 on Jan 13^th.

P.S – The CEO is still new to the blogging world.

Why the name Getafixx

While we have received an amazing feedback and inputs from our users regarding Getafixx, we have also been asked, a lot of time now – Why the name Getafixx.

Let me share a little secret out here – Most of us here are BIG, I mean really big Cartoon/Comic/Animation followers. Siddharth loves reading comics (Chacha Chaudhary being his personal favorite), Mrigank is a die hard Harry Potter fan, I personally am a big Pixar Fan and yes not to mention Dev who has been a big Asterix & Obelix follower .

But then the question is WHY GETAFIXX -

So Getafixx the name is derived from the comic character in Asterix and Obelix. He is the druid who conjures up various magical potions which can cure all ailments. We thought it would be apt to name the engine as Getafixx – because its core area of expertise is to help cure knowledge related ailments – quickly and effectively.

Btw did i tell you about the Red Herring Asia 100.

We were there at Barcamp Delhi

Btw Did we tell you that the response regarding Getafixx has been nothing but overwhelming !! *Takes a bow*

P.S – Got something equally exciting coming in next week -stay tuned !!

Hey

I know, I know – its been sometime since we got in touch with you, and thanks for your patience. Over the past 5 – 6 months, we have been busy trying to come up with a product that cuts through the faff and gets you direct access to expert knowledge. When you want it, where you want it and how you want it. Intrigued?

This is a personal invite to try out the service first hand. Just add getafixx@voicetap.in to your Gtalk buddy list, and start chatting. It’s our first attempt at bridging the knowledge gap and mapping the knowledge stored deep in the minds of people. Give it a whirl. Its sure to have bugs, and we would oh so love it if you gave us your feedback on the product.

If you appreciate if – tell others. If you don’t – definitely tell us!

Thanks again for your patience, and we look forward to having you on the platform!

Cheers

Voicetap Team
