I had the chance to chat with Chris Messina, aka Factory Joe, at BarCamp San Francisco on my last trip to the US. I asked him the other day if he’d be a guest on The Gadget Show, and he graciously accepted.

Chris recently setup a business with Tara Hunt and Ben Metcalfe called Citizen Agency. It’s an amazing new way of approaching business online, and I wanted to get his run down of the company.

We talk about his time with Civic Space, the design of the Firefox Browser New York Times Advertisement, Flock, and his latest endeavors with BarCamp (and how it all started), Microformats, and his thoughts on the new ways of the Internet.

We also have a chat about the design for Citizen Agency’s mark, and the need for texture.

I’ve also involved in pushing for a BarCamp Perth, so if you’re local, jump to the page and signup to help. In the mean time, you can catch up with my hijinx at Clique Communications weblog, or Web2Thing.

Also, check out TPN’s eBay auction for adverts on some of the shows. Currently a bargain!
