   Just got back from a 3 hour production of Richard III, 8 minutes watching you interview intelligent people is definitely something I can handle

   This is one of your best interviews from SXSW so far Loren. Your opening question was fantastic, set the tone for the whole talk and yielded some serious thought and insight into social media, Web 2.0 etc.

   Great work, keep them coming!

   Feldman, I feel like I’m just kissing your ass, but damn, these SXSW interviews have been impressive. I hadn’t even heard of half the people you interviewed, but they all turned out to be interesting people that I subscribed to via bookmark/RSS/or Twitter. The “case of Nuclear Fucking Fail” could have been avoided if they would have put you on stage with Zuckerberg

   Yeah!

   Two of my *favorite* Twitters: Chris asks inspiring questions while Loren makes awesome videos.

   I learn from *both* of you. Glad to see you both together.

   Thanx.

   p.s. Good discussion about monetizing site. Needs to happen more often. One of my passions. Love it

   The campaign mentality is wholly inappropriate for social media. Campaigns are short-term, planned to the nth degree, and done with a one-way, broadcast approach. Social media is all about making the most of the permanence inherent in the web, the long-term effects of engaged networks, and many-to-many conversations.

   As for why people react so stupidly about monetization, it’s because they are still deluded enough to believe in “objectivity”. American news media has a lot to answer for here, which is why the reactions are so much louder and more extreme States-side. For example, in the British media everyone knows that the Guardian is a lefty paper, the Telegraph is aligned with the Conservative party, the Independent is the socialist print equivalent of Fox News…etc. You read their output with full knowledge of that, and judge for yourself how credible each is. In the US, the objectivity myth means people actually believe there are no angles, no prisms through which these people are viewing the world.

   Loren,

   I agree with @Tyler, I’ve been watching your SXSW interviews and I’m liking them! I just followed Chris on Twitter and subscribed to his blog as well.

   Thanks for continuing to introduce us to all these people and keep up the good work on your interviews.

   Ditto. Loren, you’re an ace interviewer and somehow that surprises me, but it probably shouldn’t.

   Monetization, it kills me that I’ve got this great “wealthy niche” blog/vlog/follwing and the many corporate entities don’t get it.

   Perhaps that will change, but in the meantime, I need a bit of support. oh well.

   I agree with everyone else … I follow Brogan’s blog and watched all the other vids, too. Great talk and good ideas.

   I’m thinking of doing more video/photo type stuff in my blog, so the idea with the camera sponsor was quite timely (if I can find a quality sponsor).

   thanks for being on the scene, Loren.

    Great interview Loren. I met Chris at PodCamp Toronto last month - he’s a great guy. Your questions got some great answers from him - love the dinner party/sales pitch analogy.

    [...] any rate, this Loren Feldman interview of Chris Brogan is a taste of why I’m bummed about missing the event - two very smart guys [...]
