Joey said: A primer on how to conduct an interview. Worth reading. Quote:
Some interviewers interpret this as an endorsement of "gotcha" questions, but man, few things are more tiresome than "gotcha" questions. (Need I invoke the wan spectacle of Terry Gross going on the attack when presented with a guest too far outside her own ideological realm?) I mean more the sort of surprise one feels when presented with an entirely different way to think about something familiar. It's the wonderful surprise produced by framing and approach, not the deadening surprise produced by the j'accuse.Added: March 15, 2010 at 12:29AM EDT

Joey said: This, this is why industry dies. They stop innovating because they let the bean counters get in the way. Business works because people love a product. Make it all about the money, and you've doomed yourself to eventual failure. Quote:
And now here we are. Right here in your own backyard, an American company creates a brilliant phone, and that company hands it to you, and gives you an exclusive deal to carry it — and all you guys can do is complain about how much people want to use it. You, Randall Stephenson, and your lazy stupid company — you are the problem. You are what’s wrong with this country.Added: December 14, 2009 at 9:04PM EST
Joey said: Good break down of what can be charged for online. Paid content advocates keep this in mind.
Awesome chart too. Quote:
You probably can charge consumers for two things: (a) exclusive entertainment content and (b) authoritative information that helps them hang on to more of their money.Added: November 23, 2009 at 9:51PM EST
