I just got interviewed by the New York Times! I can't say much more, but it had something to do with Flickr. He said I was the most articulate of all the people he had talked to. And there may even be a photo of me taken by a professional photographer!

Naturally. To illustrate a story about a site for amateur photography ...

Hope you do better than me. I've been interviewed by NYT reporters three times, never got a mention.

Cool Beans.

(same here, stilch. I was interviewed by the Village Voice once, and no mention, and once by MTV News, same thing, but that might've been cause I cursed)

As long as you didn't get interviewed by Candy Crowley, you'll be all right. :)

Hang on, the reporter didn't seem inordinately interested in your contacts with the Hewlett-Packard Board of Directors, did she?

I usually feel sad when I write a piece and don't get to mention everyone. It happens, though. When you do 12 hours of accumulated research/interview and then have to boil it down to 20 column inches, sometimes even real gems have to go.

But I bet we see some mats quotes, anyway, 'cause she's pithy and spot-on and all that.

Awesome, Mats! But do you take it in the ass?

posted by Lipstick Thespian 27 October | 17:13

Yay Mats! Hope it goes well for ya! Let us know if it gets up on the web, wouldya?

LT, you may wanna clarify that comment with the appropriate link, or it comes across as looking....... bad. worse. something.

Oh, and Mats, sorry I missed your message the other day - I was going to reply but realised I was late late late and had to run.

posted by Zack_Replica 27 October | 17:54

To clarify...there's this hye-larious video that's been doubleposted, and it's all retro-y and cool about well, taking it...oh never mind.

Congrats, Mats.
