Apparently the sale of Ensight was a mild topic of a recent interview with Darren Barefoot by the CBC. Of course it was nice of them to invite me… But Darren did well. Darren’s always a touch more cynical than I am but I can understand that, considering that he’s a Vancouverite.
I’m sure we’ll have a chance to talk early next year when I go to Northern Voice. Should be good to mix and mingle with folk much smarter than myself.
Getting back to the radio show, best line (from Darren) was easily (paraphrased, probably from 2 bits of the interview):
Yeah, sure he’s popular. Maybe top 100 blog popular, but certainly not top 10 popular. He has a certain something that appeals to his audience, geeks I guess, and that works for him.

[...] back in the early days when Jeremy and I were group blogging and long before he decided to sell Ensight and make national Canadian news. So I’m back at it again. IR [...]

HAHAH! Yes, that is how he really talks.
Darren is good at what he does and is very direct!
