This will likely be of interest to those of you have been on the web since, oh, the time of troubadours: Ivor Tossell, the web culture columnist for the Globe and Mail, has a great article and interview up with Matt Haughey, founder of Metafilter. If your familiar with MeFi, I’m not sure you’ll learn anything new per se, but as with most of Tossell’s columns, there’s a thoughtful tone and understated style that makes it a pleasure to read. Plus, people on Metafilter itself are calling it one of the best articles they’ve read about the community, which is saying something.
(Also, not sure if I’m supposed to do this sorta’ thing, but disclosure blah blah BS: I work with Ivor occasionally, but was a fan of his long before I met him).
