Over the past several months, Jesper has interviewed several people who make the Web work. Now he’s got three new interviews up: Anil Dash, Mark Pilgrim, and me. Talk about being out of my league. It reminds me of the Sesame Street song, “One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn’t belong.”
In the interview, Anil talks about where he’d like to see weblog-related APIs go. “I’m hoping all this information can be presented in a way that’s meaningful to users and that we can get something more than ‘here’s who’s linking to you’ out of it. I want to find the things I didn’t know I was looking for.”
And Mark describes his frustration with the people behind XHTML 2. “They could be doing so many other things, within their charter, that would benefit the web. But they’re not. They’re sitting around trying to create The Perfect Markup Language.”
Got your own question for Mark, Anil, or me? The Under the Iron interviews allow you to leave comments. We’ll read all your comments and reply.
So head on over, read the interviews, and watch me try to look like a big boy among these very smart people.
