Closed Source Media Update 1 -DNS Interview

Hello, all! Closed Source Media Update is getting off the ground, and we're really excited. So excited, that we can't wait to hear your feedback about our team.

We'll start first with Pererro, and it's going to take a while because they have a big team! Hopefully, we can get it done fast, but not so fast that no one else has joined when we finish, hm?

So, most of our bloggers are kind of busy at noon on a Saturday, but Pererro's founder, David N. Scott, managed to free up some time for us today.

CSM: Good afternoon, David! How are you?

DNS: Is it morning yet?

CSM: Yeppers! Almost noon!

DNS: Oh. Okay.

CSM: Hm. So, how do you feel about starting Closed Source Media?

DNS: What? I wasn't listening.

CSM: Er, Closed Source Media.

DNS: Right, that thing. I think it'll replace blogs.

CSM: I'm sorry?

DNS: Well, my vision for CSM is that, one day, we'll actually give the news directly to the people.

CSM: Isn't that what blogs do?

DNS: (Shakes head, violently) No, no. You don't understand. (Spreads his hands wide) I have a global vision.

CSM: Really?

DNS: Yup.

CSM: What is it?

DNS: What?

CSM: The vision.

DNS: I told you already. Bringing news to the people.

CSM: But what does that mean?

DNS: (Looks around a bit nervously): Well, uh, I was thinking... (raises finger) Post-its!

CSM: Post-its?

DNS: Yep! I was thinking about writing news on little post-its and leaving on people's refrigerators. Much faster than blogs. There are some problems with the idea, though.

CSM: I'd... I'd have to say so, yes.

DNS: Not everybody has a refrigerator, you know. We'll have to expand to iceboxes and stuff like that eventually.

CSM: Oh. That wasn't really what I was thinking you would say.

DNS: What do you mean?

CSM: Well... Seems like you'd need a lot of people, first of all.

DNS: Oh, sure. But we're building a global network.

CSM: Really?

DNS: Yup. Applications to CSM will start flowing in any minute now, I'm sure.

CSM: Have you received any yet?

DNS: ...

CSM: Any at all?

DNS: No. But if that OSM place, whose failures I have so sparklingly documented, can build up their team, I can build up mine.

CSM: Oh, will you be paying competitive rates?

DNS: (He looks confused) Paying? Why would I pay someone to blog?

CSM: Open Source Media pays their bloggers.

DNS: Really? Huh. Well... (he thinks for about half a minute) We pay too! But we pay percentages.

CSM: Percentages?

DNS: Yep! Once we get this thing going, our new members can have a percentage of the profits. We should still have a lot left, even after buying all the post-its. Besides, Open Source money is from Venture Capitalists. Venture Capitalists are all in the mafia, so it's like blood money.

CSM: Interesting... that reminds me...

DNS: Hm?

CSM: Speaking of blood money, is there any truth to rumors of you and your Pirate friend actually posessing a pretty large store of 'pillaged' Euros?

DNS: I don't know what you're talking about.

CSM: No, really: I think I've heard of the Pererro Pirate, and...

DNS: This interview is over. (Leaves)


Well, as you can see, our founder is a man of
vision. I'll be interviewing other members of CSM as they become available, and I hope you're as exceited as I am.

See you soon!
