Interview on connecting spaces and our interstitial world

Ross Dawson, March 25, 2007 3:26 AM US PT

Maria O’Donovan is a very interesting commentator who is currently doing a Masters in ICT and learning at Aarlborg University in Denmark. She recently interviewed me for her Enabling Spaces blog, and has transcribed our wide-ranging conversation. Things that I discuss in the interview include:
• Media as an interstitial phenomenon
• Lead consumers and the diffusion of innovations
• The diversity and passion of online conversations
• The different implications of blogs and social media tools
• The long tail, scale free networks, and how those that have get more
• Success through creating value for the entire community
• Identity and the aggregation of reputation
