In this episode of the Apple Universe Podcast, Daniel Brusilovsky interviewed Kerry Pearce-Parkins, VP of Product and Marketing for Mixx. Mixx is your link to the web content that really matters. There’s a lot of information out there and, let’s face it, you don’t have all day to find the good stuff (if you do, we’re totally jealous). And who knows better than you what informs you, what makes you think, what makes you laugh? So why should some faceless editor get to decide what’s important? For more information, head over to Mixx!
