[[image:gizmodo.jpg::left:0]]Nog niet eerder vertoond: Bill Gates heeft
een interview gegeven aan weblog.  Commercieel getint of niet,
altijd interessant wat  de grote man achter Microsoft weer te
melden heeft.

Op de weblog Gizmodo (“The
Gadgets Weblog”) spreekt hij over rss en hoe hij ermee omgaat, over
blogging en MSN Spaces, over online journalistiek en de verkoop van
Slate Magazines en over de betekenis van de pc voor het individu.

Over rss en de Outlook plug-in die hij daarvoor gebruikt:

“Almost everything that’s being published on the web now has rss
notification on it, so what would have been a website I would have gone
to my favorites list and looked at, now I get the notification. I have
the add-on to Outlook that lets me see those things. I still have a
tendency to—say I want to go to Slate Magazine or the Wall Street
Journal, I just directly navigate.”

Over blogging en de nieuwe Microsoft-dienst MSN Spaces:

“I think blogging is super-important and we’ve got to do a lot more
software. The phenomena for us is we’ve got in beta this MSN Spaces
thing, and it lets you leverage everything you do around
Messenger—that’s your buddy lists and those relationships—to set up
blogs, and who has access, and who gets notified. We’ve got up over a
million people [who] set up blog sites. Now, how many of those people
keep those up to stay… but still, it’s a very big number.”

Over online journalistiek en de verkoop van Slate Magazines:

“As more and more reading gets online, the ability to get to lots of
different things, and the competition and quality that takes will be
pretty amazing. We ourselves aren’t that much of a publisher. We did
the Slate Magazine thing to try and prove out what kind of things, what
kind of formats could you do in online journalism that were different
than the things that had been done. We’re very proud of pioneering
that—what was it, ten years (ago) or
something—and pass that on to the Washington Post. In the long run,
it’s a more natural fit there. I’m not some media expert.”

Over de rol van de pc en de The power to publish as an individual:

“The idea of the open empowerment—that’s why we’ve always loved the PC.
And there are many examples over the last several decades where the
power of the PC to let people publish and communicate has made a huge
difference in terms of people trying to control information flow. And
that’s why the PC is such a fantastic development.”
