Here's Gary reflecting on what the Cuban and Fripp attitudes toward media and embrace of self-publishing might mean for the future of interviews:
... among all those with the most to lose from journalistic license editorializings, who wouldn't want the final say of the un-spun self-published statement?
As a sidenote, I note that both Cuban and fellow billionaire Pierre Omidyar's
blogs are open to comments. For how long I do not know, but apparently
Omidyar reads his. Funny that you could perhaps more easily get these
guys' attention by knowing about their blogs than by being in physical
proximity...
(The attention allocation problem that the rich and famous face is one
that fascinates me, by the way. Take for example philanthropists. They
may have all the money in the world, it doesn't mean that picking out
who, by their standards, has the most promise to have a beneficial
impact automagically
becomes a snap for them. I guess similar considerations apply to
granting
agencies et al.)
