Hitwise
I’m very pleased to be able to chat with Adrian Giles from Hitwise on the show today. Back in 1997, Adrian and his partner started the company age 23 and they recently sold it to Experian for US$240 million. We talk about the beginnings of the company, the business model, the challenges with raising VC in Australia, and what it feels like to be this cashed up by 33.

G’DAY WORLD #249 – The Future Of Newspapers

Ryan Sholin wrote this post “10 obvious things about the future of newspapers you need to get through your head” on June 2 about the future of newspapers. It ended up on the front page of TechMeme and obviously struck a chord with lots of people. So I invited him onto the show to explore his key points in some more detail.

Ryan is a graduate student in Mass Communications at San Jose State University, working on a thesis about the adoption of weblogs at U.S. newspapers and he works at the Santa Cruz Sentinel.

G’DAY WORLD #247 – Highlights from MODM 2

MODM 2 was last week and I think most folks had a great time. I certainly did. I think we had about 50 people there, which is pretty good for our first real event. Thanks again to our sponsors Eight Black and to our guest speaker Dr Peter Ellyard.

Here’s a video of Peter’s talk about future makers versus future takers and the difference between management and leadership.

Are you a member of Facebook yet? If so, join the MODM group. And keep an eye on the MODM website. The next event will be held Thursday July 5th, and the plan is to hold it again at ACMI Lounge. This next event will be sponsored by Microsoft Silverlight.

G’DAY WORLD #246 – 50 Questions with Will Arnett

I had the chance today to spend 15 minutes with Will Arnett, one of the stars of the new Will Ferrell/Jon Heder comedy “Blades Of Glory“. I caught the film earlier this week and it’s very funny, a lot funnier than I expected it to be actually. Definitely gets higher marks than Talladega Nights.

Arnett is probably best known as Gob from the now-canceled TV series “Arrested Development“. but he’s also been in films such as “Monster-in-Law“, “RV” and a small role in “The Sopranos“.

I’d like to thank Bruce Moyle and the boys at Coolshite for hooking me up with Paramount.

G’DAY WORLD #245 – Staton Rabin, The Curse Of The Romanovs

I’m very pleased to have author Staton Rabin back on the show. She first joined us in February 2005 on episode #18!

She joins me today to talk about her new book:

The Curse of the Romanovs

It’s a fascinating period of history that I know very little about: Rasputin, the February Revolution, Anastasia, Alexei, etc. As I said to Staton on the show, everything I know about Rasputin I learned from Boney M.

Australian listeners can order the book from Booktopia. Amazon also carries it.
