[Via Holger]

Steve Gillmor interviewed Evan Williams on 20th of Mai, the conversation is transcripted in this eWeek’s article.
They pincipally talked about the new version of Blogger. Some interesting points:

  • definition of profile linked with a user
  • new tags in the templating language, eg IF statements
  • posting content through emails
  • Google’s sign-on strategy across Gmail, Blogger and Google
  • the utilization of redirection for the comments (which are stored by Blogger): they are redirecting to avoid a Page Ranking propagation from the very good blogger.com’s PR and to avoid spam on comments
  • RSS and atom ecology
