Industry Misinterpretations 179: BottomFeeder

March 14, 2010 21:24:39.188

We've mentioned BottomFeeder numerous times on the podcast, but this week it occurred to us that we've never actually covered it in depth on the podcast. So, this week we turned things around a bit, and Michael interviewed me about the application. Where it came from, what kinds of things went into it, who helped out on it, and where it might be headed. We also talked about a few related projects, like the blog server, and some of the social media stuff I've been working on.

To listen now, you can either download the mp3 edition, or the AAC edition. The AAC edition comes with chapter markers. You can subscribe to either edition of the podcast directly in iTunes; just search for Smalltalk and look in the Podcast results.
