Interview with Marc CanterFriday, March 07, 2008 by Dave Winer. Marc wrote a blog post after hearing Ray Ozzie's keynote at MIX 08 in Las Vegas, giving it rave reviews. So I wanted to hear direct from Marc why it was so great. We had a 15-minute talk about this and lots of other things. http://sundaygang.com/dave/marcCanterInterview.mp3 I'm really getting into these short interview-style podcasts, doing some of them with Cinch and others with Skype, depending on where I am when I get the idea. Dan Farber wrote up Ozzie's keynote. |
