The Gadget Show #040 (MP3 – 9.4MB – 27min 00sec)
LISTEN HERE [1]
Today is officially the 1st Birthday of the The Gadget Show, and I'm more than happy that my guest is Guy Kawasaki [2].
We discuss his past with Apple, and his thoughts on the company today. We also chat about
show more...
his company, Garage Technology Ventures [3], and being a Mensch [4].
Guy also has a great personal policy about email that everyone should read. The Effective Emailer [5] gives some handy tips for senders of email.
Guy admits that Web 2.0 is a great marketing term, but means little to users. So I recommend buying his book, The Art of Start [6]. He also thinks that the tech industry is in a bubble, not a boom as described in Wired [7] recently, and he provides his tip for what an entrepreneur should keep in mind.
His blog has gone great guns, and his Total BS (Blog Stats) [8] show he's getting over 200,000 unique visitors. Guy gives us his thoughts and experience.
I also ask what his favorite gadget is, to keep the name of the show, and we chat a little about the MacBook [9] and PowerBook battery life.
