My guest on today’s show was information architect and interaction designer Mary Hodder. Mary completed her Masters at the School of Information Management and Systems at UC Berkeley in May, 2004
We had a very wide ranging discussion on everything from video blogging to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act to the the future of social media! The interview ran long and despite cutting at least 10 minutes from the interview it still runs to just over 50 minutes but it is all great stuff!
Here are the questions I asked Mary and the times in the interview at which I asked them:
Who is Mary Hodder, what is your background and what are you doing now? - 0:57
You mentioned that part of your masters was intellectual property, you also mentioned that you worked on usability and interaction design and Dabble is a video remix community - is there a common thread which ties these together? - 5:29
Who would be the intended audience of a video remix site? - 9:43
I assume there is a business model with Dabble… - 13:50
When is Dabble due to launch? - 16:06
Are there competitors in your space, right now? - 18:08
Do video bloggers spread their content all over to keep costs down or for redundancy or… - 19:52
2005 was the year when podcasting exploded - do you see 2006 as the year video will explode? - 24:48
What is average file size for a video these days? - 29:38
We are hearing a lot about the Digital Millenium Copyright Act and the Patriot Act over here - what exactly are they? - 31:24
You referred to last week - I presume you were referring to Google’s refusing to hand over information to the Department of justice where MSN, Yahoo and AOL did… - 38:46
The Department of Justice explained the subpoenas as being for child protection - do you buy that excuse? - 45:02
Where do you see social media going in the next 12 months? - 47:25

As a new listener, this is the kind of interview that’s fast making your show one of my favorites. Keep up the good work!
Hi Marshall,
*blush*
thanks for the feedback - I’m delighted you are enjoying the show.
Obviously, you are free to tell all your friends and family and blog readers and….
Tom
Nice!
That interview was very insightful, thanks. I really think that this dabble could take off.
I found it quite funny that she skipped the question on competitiors because there are other companies moving into this space. I myself have co-founded one such company. I wont list it here though, I dont want to self-promote.
Keep up the good work
Ha I just checked out the whois, your from Cork. I knew I recognised the accent, I’m from Galway. It’s great to see an Irishman doing his thang - lol
