Was able to get a good quick interview with Greg Hartnett of Best Of The Web during SES San Jose. Sorry the sound is so low but the best of the web booth is always so busy .

Pretty cool to find out more info from botw and see what it has to offer.

The sound isn’t that bad, you can hear it without too much effort, it’s cool how far things have come since four years ago.

pretty interesting interview…boring at some parts. botw is a must for everyone looking to get into some paid directories.

15 KushMoney August 21, 2008 at 4:51 pm

The sound is good. I just might try their referral program though. Looks like I can make some good money.

Unfortunately it is spelt ‘interview’.

23 Melvin August 21, 2008 at 10:02 pm

hartnett reminds me of someone who i cant remember.. well i think he has a look a like…

24 Reid August 21, 2008 at 11:05 pm

I wish I had started a much larger type of directory not just limited to one city… have to change that in my next business plan I guess!

25 ajaz August 21, 2008 at 11:21 pm

Thats how to monetize a directory, or not a directory

33 Balkhis August 22, 2008 at 4:02 pm

Interesting interview Jeremy. Local botw is a very nice addition to botw. I have to agree with that. Good luck to Greg and BOTW staff.

34 Rob Jones August 22, 2008 at 9:27 pm

Geez… Greg’s outta town doing interviews and I get left to take care of the kids? He better have at least brought back a t-shirt or something.

35 JumboCasher.com August 23, 2008 at 6:40 am

well done. and thanks for the tips!

36 Dick August 23, 2008 at 8:36 am

I know that to make a qualitative interview is not so simple. My good friend works on television.

37 Lowongan Kerja August 24, 2008 at 12:26 am

it is always nice to hear an interview from the successful person, will add this one to my collection

some interesting stuff the sound was perfect on my end. nice interview. wish i could have gone to that conference

39 Eva White August 25, 2008 at 2:55 am

Nice interview, sound did seem to die off a couple of times though.

40 Justin Cook August 25, 2008 at 11:55 am

OK, I can admit I was wrong. I really didn’t expect that their local offering would really take off. But from the sounds of things they can’t even handle all of the submissions and support.

41 LetUsReviewIt August 25, 2008 at 4:43 pm

I think best of the web has a ton of potential. I have been seeing posts and articles throughout the net here and there and i think they may have something here. Have a feeling they might be getting bought out by a Google, Yahoo, etc for a ton of money in a few years.
