Tech Startup Podcast: Mike Muhney of VIPorbit

Podcast #28 of 50, we chatted with Mike Muhney, CEO and co-Founder of VIPorbit about the changing face of CRM.

We discovered how he's shaking up relationship management, and how his mobile app startup is making a serious impact. We talked about the changing face of relationships, how to leverage contacts for a great industry presence, and actually Facebook "Frienditutes."

If you are an iPhone and/or iPad user, (I have an Android) we recommend you try out their free version of the app. It sounds highly valuable.
