Interview with ScobleTuesday, March 11, 2008 by Dave Winer. 15-minute interview with Scoble mostly about conferences and the SXSW "trainwreck" interview of Mark Zuckerberg by BusinessWeek reporter Sarah Lacy. http://sundaygang.com/dave/scobleInterview.mp3 I have a laundry list of questions that we didn't get to, so I want to do another basic background interview with Scoble. Note: I had trouble with this recording, since I lowered the bitrate in Audio Hijack Pro, it produced an M4A file instead of an MP3. I had to learn how to do the conversion. It turns out that iTunes has this capability built-in. |
