Just a note for all you fans and haters, Sunday’s New York Times will have a 1/3 page article in it about my AOL cancellation story. It’s going to be in the Digital Domain column, and will be written by Randall Stross who is an awesome guy, super nice, and who understands what it’s like to be inundated with the same questions over and over again. Witness, for example, this snippet from his e-mail to me requesting an interview:

As you may have seen, your call was mentioned by another reporter in a very brief reference in the Times a week ago last Saturday. This does not do what you captured so well full justice, and I have continued to follow the aftermath of the call with great interest—–it will be the central subject of my Digital Domain column in next Sunday’s Times.

I am not writing to ask you to submit to still another interview, and tell the story another time—–from my own, very limited experience being on the other side of an interview, when I’ve done book tours promoting books and sitting through the same hurried, brief round of questions, telling the same account again and again, I quickly came to the same conclusion that you describe in today’s blog entry: you can only tell the same story so many times.

And he kept true to his word. He didn’t ask me the same three questions (Why did you record the call? Do you feel guilty about Jon being fired? What was the worst part of the call?) everyone else was asking and dug a bit on some stuff. It’s a good interview, overall. Check it out in Sunday’s Times!
