Speaking of Interviews...
Friday, May 20, 2005
Of course by now you've heard about Dave's reaction to an (edited) interview that appeared on Wired's website. Well, another interview with Adam has appeared on ZDnet, and here Adam directly contradicts at least one thing that Dave said:
Alorie Gilbert: Speaking of Dave Winer, he was sort of ranting on his blog recently about all the credit you're getting around podcasting. Have you guys had a little fallout recently?Hmm.
Curry: I asked him to create that last piece. He didn't. I programmed it. I'm not a programmer, so I had to learn how to program. It took me quite a while. And then I put it out in open source and said here's this thing I've created called an iPodder, which is the name I came up with, and I built it. And it was built on all these existing technologies, and people started to get excited about it, particularly software developers, of which Dave Winer usually doesn't get along with very well. And, they started building their own versions and I started creating a show, specifically for these developers called the "Daily Source Code," thinking that would probably appeal to them.
The fact is, Adam here knows how to win this battle: it's all PR. Adam is getting his message out to the general public who have no idea what the history behind all of this is (and probably really does not care). And frankly, those that have been following it for the last eight months might not be totally clear on all the facts. But while Dave rants to the community, Adam preaches to the masses.
