During the Stirr Mixer, we caught up with Adam Marsh, the CEO of PrefPass for a quick interview.

The goal of PrefPass is to personalize websites without having to register. They provide an easy means for site managers to validate users. And, in turn, the users get a quick way to login without the hassles of filling out long and tedious forms. PrefPass will also be able to track the preferences of users as they login to numerous PrefPass enabled sites. This preference data can later be used for contextual ads and other useful tools for site managers.

We met the CEO of EchoSign, Jason Lemkin, at the Office 2.0 pre-party. In August of this year, they took home the IBD Network “Judges’ Choice” award for best Office 2.0 application:

EchoSign solves a long term problem of handling, tracking and storing company documents that have to get signed and then manages them once they are signed. It also goes a step further than the standard Jfax service by automating the process of emailing a copy of the signed document out to all the parties that need it.” — Under The Radar, 08/16/2006

He was also coming off a big announcement at the Salesforce conference, and the future is looking bright for this contract management company. Find out why they’re one of the leaders within the online document signature space.
