Here's an interesting interview that I came across via Marcomblog. It appears that the the guys at Gizmodo, the gadgets blog, were contacted by Microsoft and asked if they'd like to interview Bill Gates. Guess what they said? !!
In an interview between Joel Johnson and Bill Gates - G-Money and Me: Bill Gates Interview - the Microsoft boss discusses blogging, RSS, the PC and Apple. It makes for very interesting reading (the Apple stuff I quite liked) and here are a couple of Gates quotes:
I think blogging is super-important and we've got to do a lot more
software. The phenomena for us is we've got in beta this MSN Spaces
thing, and it lets you leverage everything you do around
Messenger—that's your buddy lists and those relationships—to set up
blogs, and who has access, and who gets notified. We've got up over a
million people [who] set up blog sites.Almost everything that's being published on the web now has RSS
notification on it, so what would have been a website I would have gone
to my favorites list and looked at, now I get the notification. I have
the add-on to Outlook that lets me see those things.
