A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article about Powerset and their recent restructuring. Today, I talked with Barney Pell one of the founders and former CEO of the startup. As I have said before many times, Barney is an extraordinary person with a brilliant vision and Powerset has been one of my favorite topics of discussion. As far as my previous post, I had some concerns over the underlying causes for Steve Newcomb's absence and also Barney's shift [...]

March 11, 2007 - Profy got a rare opportunity today to talk with Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, Wikimedia (non-profit foundation), Co-Founder of Wikia Inc., and more recently innovator of Wikia-Search which we have covered on other occasions.

Yesterday we received an invitation to revisit the social network for geeks Shuzak.com. We did a review of the site earlier when it was running on a sub-optimized server, and the resultant problem was a 404 error. I really wanted to see what the community was like and was pleasantly surprised to find the site's founder Jawad Shuaib in chat there. In fact I had a really good time talking with several of the members of this community.
Since the [...]

Geonomy is an interesting new website, specializing in geo-tagging anything and everything, particularly anything Wikipedia related. Since its launch, the website has raked in visitors, and I went to find out some more.
Geonomy is very useful in many respects. Its aim is to provide an easier going style wikipedia, where everything, rather than just being plain old info, has a geo-tag too. You can search articles by location, or by a random tag, and the service is a really effective [...]

I think it’s safe to say, I can consider myself a bit of a Web 2.0 geek now. I’ve been working at Profy for the past couple of months, and three weeks ago I was interviewed by the BBC who wanted to do an interview with me on BBC Radio Five Live, about my experiences blogging, and they wanted my opinion on Web 2.0. I explained exactly what I did (blogging about Web 2.0, gadgets, technology, the computers and the internet), [...]

MySpace. It’s a very large company, but pinning an interview down on a single individual took time. I had to pick someone interesting. I finally decided upon Jon Merz. He’s a writer for MySpace, but not just any old writer. Jon was the first ever hired by the company, and I’m pleased to reveal this interview with him.
So Jon. Tell me. How did you first become a writer for MySpace?
Well, I contacted MySpace and after many months of back-and-forth communication, [...]

I am very proud to present to you Michael Cheney, multi-gazillionaire dog owner and internet marketer. He’s been on the net for ages and being the luck boy I am, I managed to grab an exclusive interview with him! We did the interview over Skype, but as podcasting isn’t supported here yet, I’ve written out the transcript.
So Michael, it’s great to speak to you. Will you tell my readers a bit about yourself?
Okay. Well, yeah, I’ve been online for about [...]
