The Reviews Are Coming In

Wired is looking over the content we gave them and is thinking about how to package it all right now. We will ring bells and whistles the second we know anything. It should be the week after July 4th.

Jeff Howe has read the entire interview package and had great things to say:

With shockingly few exceptions, the interviews are compelling, thought-provoking and chock full of insights both philosophical and practical. The final package represents, to my knowledge, the most comprehensive and exhaustive knowledge base on the various ways the Internet has given rise to collaborative forms of production. I've been researching these issues for 18 months, and the collected information handily exceeds my own knowledge base—that itself is a testament to the wisdom of the crowds over the wisdom of the expert.

We have also recieved our first review from outside our circle.

Cheers to Randy J. Hunt, who actually contacted World Changing to do an interview for his blog at Citizen Scholar, but ended up being interviewed himself about his experinece at Assignment Zero.

Hopefully after we publish there will be more reviews like this one -- and you will all be the sources! How's that for a change of pace!


What are they pouring?

Cement? Maple syrup? Chocolate sprinkles? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)


fyi

in case anyone reads this and wonders WTF Michael's talking about - the wording he's alluding to has since been fixed.


Go AZ Go

Hey there everyone--

This is all very exciting. I know I have absent from the site since completing my interview (my job would be great if it wasn't for all the work) but I wanted to let you know I check daily for a few minutes to see what is happening.

I am excited as ever about AZ and can't wait to see what's next.

Thanks,

Edward Domain

P.S. Big thanks as well to the staff-- Amanda, David, everyone----- thanks for the support to me, and I am sure everyone else feels the same!


Outdated

The site has a bunch of outdated info about the project.

If someone new stumbles upon the project, the text indicates incorrectly that work is still going on. Some of the text uses future tense for events that have since passed.

Here are a few examples from the main page:
* "In progress (recent reporting) now through late May."
* "Any way you dice it, we can use your help."
* "The final package is being sent to Wired today."
* "We hope to have another 5-6 stories and 40+ edited Q&A's in the next month."
