Six words about Sixapart ain’t bad.
A few weeks ago, I spoke to a reporter from the Wall Street Journal about how we use weblog software at work. We probably spoke for a good half hour about how we were using the software.
Today the story about Sixapart and MovableType ran in the Marketplace section of the WSJ. Amazingly my name and a short quote was in the article. Check it out:
For all my blathering they choose six words I said, “It just kind of made sense.” as my quote. They call my engineers ‘technicians’ and they mention us using cameras, which we don’t have. But hey, what am I complaining about, I’m quoted in the Wall Street Journal.
Heh, I think the WSJ people just like making bad quotes. When I got interviewed, they wrote my first sets of video blogs were “depicting the rather mundane life of a New York graphic designer on a cold day last March”
I guess getting the fact wrong is better then them saying you are boring 🙂
Wow. You may want to trademark that phrase, Michael. It could be the next “You’re fired.” In fact, I’m heading over to Godaddy to register itjustkindamadesense.com…
Woot!
Thanks so much for the quote, Mike, and I’m glad you got in! You should try doing background some time, you get to talk to the reporter for hours and you’re supposed to try to *not* be quoted. 🙂
It’s just too bad they didn’t put a cool looking picture of you up there in the margins, too!
Oh well, next time.
That is cool al hell
