I'm actively looking for more good interview subjects on this focused topic (getting traction). If you have any ideas, introductions, or would like to be interviewed, please let me know.

  Email me if you need intros to anyone I interviewed. Also, why aren't you on camera? Email me if you want to know more about my setup.

    Thx--I'll definitely take you up on that. My setup is certainly sub-optimal, but me not being on camera is deliberate. On my second interview, I lost my feed and so went without it. After it was done, I thought it worked better than the first (with me in it). Since the interviewee does the vast majority of the talking, it seemed I was just sitting there being distracting from the main content. But maybe I'm wrong?

      It breaks with the norm, but I think it may be preferable for interviews. All we want from the host is for them to be a question-enhancing proxy for ourselves. Seeing your own face in a mirror wouldn't improve the experience of interviewing someone yourself, so seeing the host's shouldn't either.

  That's a good portion of the book "Founders At Work".

    It's about time PG just put an Amazon affiliate ad for that book on the front page. It really has become mandatory reading in all the entrepreneur circles I seem to travel in. Or maybe I need to get out more -- that's probably it. I would be interested to see a Hacker News reading list sorted based on votes. Hey wait, I know a site that could do that...

  Your welcome. I'd love to interview any of those people!

Dailybooth would be a great company to ask about traction.
