I will be interviewing John Battelle for PodLeaders.com on Monday.
John is author of The Search - the book on the evolution of today’s search engines, John is one of the co-founders of Wired magazine and the founder and former Chair of Standard Media International (”The Standard”), publisher of The Industry Standard and TheStandard.com. Currently John is the founder and chairman of Federated Media Publishing.
If you have any questions you’d like me to ask him - feel free to leave them in the comments and I will put them to him.
UPDATE:
This interview has been postponed until Tuesday 28th - so you can still get your questions in if you haven’t already.
Martin Varsavsky is the founder and CEO of FON (as well as being the founder of highly successful companies such as Viatel, Jazztel and Ya.com). FON is a community of people who share WiFi. If you sign up with FON you share your WiFi broadband access at home/work and you get free access to other FON points wherever they exist.
FON announced last night that it has just raised €18 million from Google, Skype, Index Ventures and Sequoia Capital. This puts FON in a very enviable position - they have partnerships with some of the biggest names in the business, they have money and they have a cool mission (WiFi Internet Access Everywhere).
I will be interviewing Martin Varsavsky this afternoon for a podcast on PodLeaders.com - if you have any questions you’d like me to put to him, please feel free to leave them in the comments.
UPDATE:
I have now conducted the interview and I published it over on PodLeaders. Unfortunately, having been promised a 30 minute interview by email, Martin cut off the interview after 4 minutes; so needless to say, I didn’t get to ask nearly as many questions as I would have liked. Apologies to those of you who took the trouble to leave questions.
I will be interviewing Thomas Vander Wal on Friday for a podcast on PodLeaders.com. According to Wikipedia:
Thomas Vander Wal is an information architect known for coining the term “folksonomy”. His work has been with the Web and with information design and structure.
If you have any questions you’d like me to put to Thomas, feel free to leave them in the comments of this post.
I will be interviewing Mary Hodder at the start of next week - if anyone has any questions for her, feel free to drop them in the comments of this post and I’ll put them to her during the interview.
Chris Messina is Director of Experience and Open Source Ambassador at Flock.
I will be interviewing Chris later this week for PodLeaders.com - the obvious first question I have for him is who dreamt up his job title?!
If you have any questions for Chris, feel free to leave them here in the comments and I’ll be sure to ask him.
I published the Vint Cerf interview this evening - Woo!
Wow, Vint is an intellectual giant! I am completely in awe of people of people like him. The interview went really well - he talked knowledgeably about everything from Interplanetary protocol to blogging and podcasting - on my suggestion, he’s thinking of starting a blog next year (2006)! Wouldn’t it be great to be able to say I got the “father of the internet” blogging!
