I very rarely delve into somebody’s ‹about› page or try to look for any qualifications. I’m not interested if somebody has a degree or not; I’m more interested in the personal appeal of somebody, perhaps from their personal website — how they write and what they write about. Are they interested in the industry? Are they curious? Are they enquiring into things, rather than accepting things at face value? Do they challenge the norm? The people who do are the people I find really interesting, and I think they’re the people of most value on the internet—they’re the ones who are going to accelerate the growth of the internet.
