Flattery by Imitation presents: condensed Steve Gillmor
Flattery by Imitation is a new feature of Broadcasting Brain whereby we take an online presence (well known, obscure, or something in between) and attempt to capture their style in one single paragraph. The inaugural post in this potentially irregular series features our precis of the experienced tech journalist and podcast host Steve Gillmor, who hosts both the Newsgang and Gillmor Gang podcasts in addition to writing for multiple outlets, including TechCrunchIT.
Why are we doing this? Because we’re no good at puppets or video. And, frankly, by the end of the week, couldn’t we all use a chuckle?
Condensed Steve Gillmor:
