Josh Gliddon has written an article about Aussie Web2.0 entrepreneurs which is coming out in this week's edition of The Bulletin magazine. I was interviewed for the story and apparently I'm on the cover (that was the photo shoot last weekend). Hopefully it'll give us some good exposure in this country although the gist of the article is that Aussie web entrepreneurs need to go over to the US to get realistic valuations for their start-ups. It's pretty cool that Josh has written this 2nd article on TPN at this defining moment for the business - he wrote the first mainstream media article on TPN back in February 2005 just as we were getting started, so this kind of feels like nicely orchestrated bookends. I'd link to the original article he wrote but Ninemsn's archives seem to be completely borked.

That's fantastic! :-)
I thought the celebrity photographer etc sounded suspicious and I didn't think you were in any position to be hiring one for the fun of it either.

Well done Cam! Look forward to reading it!
Hope there is more meat than "go to the US for greater valuation"...since anyone in AUS who has worked in any software start-up knows that already.

who cares what the story is about CD? I'm on the cover. That's all you need to know. You'll be able to dine out on that for months. Just like my Princess Mary of Denmark story. :-)

Aren't magazines so passe for you? Paper-based info for the masses...Cam...what's going on?
Cannot believe that you would relish in this old medium that you despise so much...and I thought you were a Napoleon buff...actually Talleyrand is better suited then, don't you think?

Is this the one with the frog on the front? Or is my newsagent strange?

ROFL. Christophe? Are you on the front cover?? :-)
Sorry Urb, apparently it comes out tomorrow. I jumped the gun. Just tell your newsagent to set aside the edition with the George Clooney lookalike on the cover.

This is turning out to be Shrek 3 :-)

He he he George Clooney...
Yeah I was wondering about the frog too. I didn't remember you looking quite so green and it was rather lacking in the crazy sunglasses front.
