Agreed. I wish Eric didnt repeat so much of what he's already said. Repetition in an age of infinite content availability is unnecessary.
But if scoble had heard his other interviews, i doubt he would have been as surprised or asked those questions. Scoble is great but sometimes like all journalists he can forget to 'know his audience'. And for each of his interviews, he shares the audience with the interviewee.
I appreciate the feedback. I find it hard to balance between introducing a new audience to the material and having something new for people who follow online.
I love this quote: "Repetition in an age of infinite content availability is unnecessary." I'm just wondering how to cope with it; infinite availability is not the same as infinite attention.
Whenever you have a thought that merits a good chunk of discussion, give that thought a name. In everything you say after that, don't rephrase your previous discussion, just reference the name—it's a verbal #include. In a textual medium, of course, every name-drop can just be hyperlinked to the previous discussion.
