Just looking for people’s feedback. I’ve done some interviews with rather big-time tech folk, and I was thinking it might be fun to get them in and interview them on something other than what they are famous for.
As a for instance, I think it’d be useless to interview Jeffrey Zeldman on web standards. Everyone does it, and there’s only so many times you can ask “so, when is Microsoft going to get the picture” before it gets tiring.
It would be much more fun to interview him about, for instance Mac/PC, Open and Closed Source integration, paradigm of the web as an application, etc.
Likewise, it would be interesting to interview Steve Balmer on the user experience, Bernard Liautaud on media convergence, etc.
I’ll likely end up doing this anyways, because I think it’s fun, but it’s always good to gauge interest anyways. So, if you’re interested, comment. I’d like to have some fun!
