Podcasting with Eugene Kim--Reputation Talk #5

Eugenekim While at the Internet Identity Workshop, where I did an alarmingly large number of podcasts in a very short period of time, I arranged to do one with Eugene Kim. Due to circumstances, this didn't happen, and I said here on the blog that Eugene owed me a podcast--how manipulative is that? Amazingly nice guy that he is, Eugene came right back at me and said, let's do it. More than that, he agreed to meet me in Palo Alto pretty much immediately.

Let me briefly introduce Eugene. He is principal and cofounder of Blue Oxen Associates, "a think tank devoted to studying and improving high-performance collaboration." He is also an eloquent advocate of community collaboration as a way of analyzing and solving complex problems. In addition, for reasons he explains in the podcast, he has an abiding concern with digital identity and is a persistent voice in the ongoing dialogue about it.

The venue was The Prolific Oven, a coffeehouse/bakery in Palo Alto, California that seemed to be a quiet place. However, as we started talking, the ambient noise increased at odd moments, sometimes alarmingly. However, the recorded effect is fairly benign. I hope you'll view the random intrusions in the background, what sounds like cement mixers tossing boulders, espresso machines in torment, or an infant with decidedly negative views on wikipedia, as local color.

We covered lots of territory, beginning with Eugene's current work with Doug Engelbart, continuing through diverse topics such as social and collaborative software, identity management, reputation, oppression (!?), and the positive nature of wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy the conversation--which is what occurred, rather than an interview. I certainly did, and I thank Eugene for his cooperation.
