He’s right, you have fantastic sets. That really looked like you were out to lunch somewhere. It’s amazing what you can do with green screen.

What was going on with the sound?

I hear he is playing Danny Bonaducci in the Partridge Family reunion
Long Wilipedia.

Great inteview guys! Wow! I’m so happy you guys did this. I love Wikipedia! I just started my own wiki at myagito.com to monitor Green stocks and through the community of software coders I put together we are launching an open source stock assesment software based on chaos theory which would have cost a lot of $$$$ to develop, but through open source and open protocol you can do amazing things. Yimmy gets it for sure!!! Thanks!!!

Thanks for all of the comments and feedback. We actually filmed this interview on location at Andrew’s Coffee Shop on West 38th Street. They can be credited with both the fabulous background and realistic sound.

Wikipedia isn’t without problems, but it’s an excellent resource and I don’t think anyone could have predicted it would end up where it has. (I certainly didn’t think it would.)

Openess. Wikipedia has done well. Not so over at TechCrunch and the Apple/Engadget story. Seems Howard’s comments disappeared. Mine never ever showed up. It happens when you have advertisers - you need proper editorial…

Mike is a puss. He can dish, but can’t take. Om is the only journalist in that group.
Jimmy Wales: Google is secret, proprietary, closed. Search should be open. // May 20, 2007 at 7:09 am
[…] In Friday’s WallStrip, there’s an intersting interview with Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales. For me, the key bit comes about 80% of the way in (4:11), where Jimmy comments on Google. Emphasis mine: Lindsay Campbell: What’s wrong with Google, and how will Wikia’s search be different? […]
