Anyone who knows me or reads my blog very often knows that I have much higher regard for a company when the owner or creator or head of a main department or just about anybody will, go out of their way to talk to the average consumer.  I think the world of companies when they will change their product or build something in just on 1 customer/users complaint or suggestion.  Well I spent some time last week at Java One with 2 of emoze‘s finest, Hay Shteinboim and Moshe Dgani (the co-creator of emoze / head of R&D).  These guys are impressive.  While speaking with Moshe he told me he’s very proud that emoze employees many of his countries brightest minds and and that he loves what he is doing there.  I mean he really takes pride in it and listens to the users and if there is a complaint he wants to correct it right away, not tomorrow and not next week but today.  He was explaining to me that he believes it’s all about the user and without them he wouldn’t be where he is today.  According to Moshe emoze needs to always be getting better and fine tuning it’s application.

I also spent a significant amount of time with Moshe going over some of the features of the emoze app that he doesn’t think the avarage user knows about and some that have recently been added.  I will go into those this week in another post.

Anyway, this was my first Java One and I had a great experience.  I met some very interesting people and saw some interesting companies.  I’ll try to blog about them all.

The point of this post was just to say that I really like when a companies representative, especially the ones that make things happen listen to their users.

Here’s a picture of Hay Shteinboim (tall guy on the left) and Moshe Dgani (all the way to the right) doing their thing at Java One.
