In Part 1 of my interview with digg founder Kevin Rose, we discussed digg’s popularity, reputation systems and recent issues with GroupThink. In the second part of this interview, Kevin and I talk about digg’s battle with spammers and the upcoming release of new personalization features, plus an API. Full story on ZDNet…
Incidentally, I so enjoyed doing this interview that I’m keen to get back on the Larry King circuit and do more. Remember my classic interviews from 2004 with Marc Canter (who I now do work for), Tim O’Reilly (who I’m now writing a book for) and Lucas Gonze (who I’m not working or writing for, but maybe he can get me a job at Yahoo!).
All of those interviews were very much ‘two-way’, because my style is to go back and forth – by phone and/or email – with the interviewee and bring out all the best stories and themes. Too many interviews these days are hit and run affairs, rather than being more thoughtful processes with feedback on both sides.
So I’d like to ask you all: who should I interview next? Suggestions welcome in the comments below!
