Scoble Interview Published

If you're looking to meet some of the people behind TeamDirection, Robert Scoble provides the chance. Here he is interviewing, of all people, me.

This was a lot of fun to do, and I like how it turned out. My head doesn't even look too shiny.

On a serious note, though, I read on Robert's blog the serious news of the day. I sincerely hope a few bad apples don't spoil what people like Robert bring to the online community. The Scoble show is a great opportunity for companies with cool stuff to spread the word. I, for one, believe he is doing an essential service of connecting consumers and producers. We should be thanking people that put themselves out there like Robert or Kathy Sierra.

They make the world a better place.

That was fun. Of course, Robert didn't bring a makeup person, so there's an excellent chance my bald pate will be gleaming throughout the video. Hopefully the post-production can take care of that!

Don't hold your breath for the video, unless you can hold it for 3 months or so. It's always cool when people recognize you for doing something interesting. Judging by the response we've seen for the IntelliGantt Add In, he's in good company.

The other thing I learned from Robert today is just how many software developers are catching on to Amazon's S3 cloud. I'm actually working on a post for ReadWriteWeb right now covering this very topic, and I better finish it quick before its out of date!

How is TeamDirection using Amazon S3 services? That's the 'Internet Workgroup' option you see in our demo when sharing a project. You don't *need* to know its Amazon on the backend, but just in case you were wondering about scalability and reliablity... now you know.

What does it mean? It means sharing tasks with the person down the hall or a consultant in London is a one-click operation. We'll be releasing it next week, so you'll be able to see for yourself.

Back to work on my punditry, and the new website...
