Principled Innovation interview

Posted by Angela Beesley on July 21, 2006 (Interviews, Wiki, Wikipedia)

If you’re interested in my answers to the following questions, Jeff De Cagna has posted an interview with me answering these on his “Principled Innovation” site. I’d be interested in feedback on my answers and whether there are any points you agree or disagree with.

1. How would describe the power and spirit of wikis to someone who is unfamiliar with them?
2. What led you to become so deeply involved in Wikipedia, i.e., what was the initial inspiration?
3. What do you see as the driving forces of Wikipedia’s success to date, and what are your biggest concerns for the future?
4. What is your take on my suggestion that each Wikipedian contribution is a form of “microinnovation” that builds and sustains the huge global, game-changing innovation that is Wikipedia?
5. What advice would you give to non-profit membership association leaders who are uncertain where to begin with social media in their organizations?
6. How do you see social media/Web 2.0 evolving the next few years? What should we expect?
