Palo Alto's SayNow Wants Biz +Tech Skills For Funded, Early Stage MySpace Voice Deal

SayNow is currently 8 people in a room with some seed funding building voice applications to allow music artists to do 2 way voice communications with their fan bases. Their main competitor is Seattle-based SnapVine, although we wonder if MySpace itself will start to offer this type of voice functionality.

SayNow is looking for full-time and consultants.

Intern + Others Wanted At Seattle Voice Start-up SnapVine

snapvine logo.gif Your boss/CEO/founder at Snapvine would be "scholarly looking 32-year-old" Joe Heitzeberg. Snapvine. The company is manning up thanks to more than $2M in VC funding from Draper Fisher Jurvetson, an early investor in Skype, and First Round Capital, the venture fund of Half.com founder Josh Kopelman. Russell Siegelman, a former Microsoft exec and a former partner at Kleiner Perkins.

Go the SnapVine now and you will see voice pranks like "the Break-up Bitch, delivers a kind gentle break up."You can also get wake-up calls and mobile podcasts that now make up the core of the Snapvine Web site. We see these as a starting point to prompt the 15- to 25-year- olds that the company is targeting to create their own voice messages and podcasts that they will then post on MySpace and other social networks.

The six-person company just moved into new office space in Belltown.
