Jimmy Wales Interviewed Live On BBC Radio Five Live


Jimmy Wales was interviewed live on the BBC Simon Mayo programme this afternoon. It was an interesting conversation, mainly centred on the Wikipedia obviously, and geared towards an audience who wouldn’t be expected to know much about the subject. The interview started about 30 minutes into the programme and you should be able to catch it for a couple of days in the archive (linked from the webpage) before it disappears. I have done a quick attempted verbatim report on it in my weblog though cannot entirely vouch for its accuracy 100%, but it might be of some interest.

Opinions expressed in the article are those of the guest author and not necessarily Search Engine Land.
