Good interview, I was looking forward to hearing Bob at the e-Democracy conference last week, but he was too ill to attend.
Bob’s approach to blogging is a bit different to mine, but he is a great read and has what any of us that want to be bloggers should try to find, authenticity.
PS Thanks for the link in the blogroll.

I agree about Bob’s blog. It’s important to have some style which relates to your own views. There’s too much that’s bland on the left. It’s almost as if they’re worried that somebody in HQ might be reading! Of course, Bob wouldn’t care about any of that.
