The Gadget Show #017 (MP3 – 19.4MB – 56min 30sec)

LISTEN HERE

I’ve been listening to the Barry White’esque tones of Steve Gillmor for many months now. He recently relaunched his Gillmor Gang Podcast on Curry’s Podshow, after a three month hiatus and started a new show called Gillmor Daily, that may or may not be released daily.

Since BloggerCon III last year I’ve kept a close eye on his Attention.xml idea and have been waiting with great anticipation for its adoption. So I thought that it was a great opportunity to have him on The Gadget Show to give us a run down on his background, the new shows and his creation of Attention.xml.

He also gave me a chance to relate Attention.xml to gadgets (I think I did a great job, what do you think?), chat about his history and explore a whole range of other fascinating tech topics. So we hope you enjoy the chat.
