"The Kona Buzz is an example of the kind of self-selected information people love to get on their mobile phones wherever they are, whatever they`re doing." "The concept of the Kona Buzz came from my desire to make endurance sports like triathlon more spectator friendly," said ES Interactive CEO, Carri Bennet, "I`ve been lucky enough to have competed in Kona myself - the atmosphere is charged, there`s this unique karma. I wanted to find a way to share that with the people who love this sport." About ES Interactive (ESI) Carri Bennet, founder and CEO of ESI, is an Ironman finisher and an avid fan of endurance sports.
