For your Monday morning commute we have a new radio show.
In this show, I interview Saar Shai, the co-founder of an ingenious device for touchscreens and his girlfriend, Alicia Zur Szpiro, who I met through Airbnb.
We discuss the technological revolution caused by apps. What will it mean for the the world of work, and what could it mean for the traditional education system?
Click here for twenty minutes of non-stop excitement from Tel Aviv, Israel. Thanks for listening to our show.
From the episode description:
In Tel Aviv, I talk to two entrepreneurs living together in their hotel apartment. They rent out a separate room for travelers, and I was one of them on this particular week.
We talk about the things we have in common and Alicia, who is working on a tech entrepreneurs project for the British Embassy, talks about how companies like Airbnb are revolutionizing not only how we live, but in also how we can make money and change our lifestyles through business.
Social business can be inserted anywhere in an enterprise. Raphael Ouzan, a 24 year old enterpreneur from Tel Aviv, says that BillGuard

will be the “anti-virus for billing statements” around the world.
His purpose in making BillGuard is to ensure that consumers can grow to trust and understand all of the transactional data listed in their billing statements.
I interviewed Raphael on my trip to Israel last week. Here’s our 17 minute chat about building a social layer for billing statements data.

Today I talked with the CTO and the co-founder of Soluto.com, Ishay Green, and his co-founder and CEO Tomer Dvir. The company, based in Tel Aviv, is getting ready to launch an iteration of their service solution.
Basically, they will offer a free service for the family and friends of early power users of Soluto that allows experts in IT management and solutions, or anyone with any basically great and geeky skills in IT support, use the social web to fix the problem using a very easy to use interface and even crowdsource problems.
The solution could fix a sometimes invisible problem: the products made by Microsoft and Skype are often only really fully understood by the people who make them. You and I don’t care how it works, we just want it to work.
As Ishay said, “I am supposed to be really great at tech, but I have this Mac here, and I’m busting my balls, trying to make it work a certain way.” The companies that make the products are too busy to make fixing any errors easy.
I can’t really reveal the release that’s coming up in a couple of weeks. But I can tell you that Soluto is launching a revolutionary product in their next iteration and it fixes this problem. You should look into how it currently fuctions at www.soluto.com.
I honestly think that Soluto will influence companies as big as Skype or Microsoft to change some of their products. Stay tuned. The radio show will run around December 12.
Soluto CTO Ishay Green points to the 2.5 billion people at the bottom of the pyramid who need tech help, but can't stand the noise
Here is a picture of Ishay Green explaining how Soluto seeks to help the 2.5 billion people who use tech all the time, but who really don’t understand how to fix the problems it has. If you are in tech and can take a look at this, I would love to know what you think of this stage of Soluto’s growth.
