I like Kara Swisher, she's quite good at pressing the people she's interviewing to try to make them actually answer the question, instead of giving PR-speak answers. Here's a couple of Twitter moments that compile the interview, since it's pretty much totally unreadable through normal means (and it's not even very readable this way either):
I don't know if she got that much out of him in the end, but she certainly tried. This tweet (linked from the article) is probably one of my favorite summaries of how most tech-executive interviews go:
Your #KaraJack tl;dr:
Jack: We need to stop X.
Kara: What specifically are you doing to stop X?

I don't understand the appeal of twitter. Not really. I was never able to use it effectively. Why would you interview someone over it? Why would you use it for anything long form? I do like reading summaries and articles that expand on things said on Twitter, but the platform itself feels like a shouting match in which I can never follow anything to completion. I'm just 36 years old.
