I had the pleasure of chatting with Robert Scoble last week. In addition to him getting me to sign up for FriendFeed, we chatted a bit on camera about social media, the future of blogs, advertising, and of course WordPress.
Here’s part one, at 21 minutes.
Here’s part two, at 17 minutes.
Thanks to Robert for taking the time out to chat, as always it was a pleasure.
