Dan Patterson

My day job is as a manager for ABC News Radio. I'm in charge of platform development policy, web strategy, and content integration.  Occasionally I also conduct interviews with political and technology thought leaders.  During the 2009 Web 2.0 Expo in New York I had the privilege of sitting down with several thought leaders and innovators in technology.  These interviews were originally posted on the ABC News Radio development site (info) and are a part of our larger ABC News Radio Platform.

Though I try to construct interviews to serve a mainstream ABC News audience I'm primarily interested in the more abstract ideas that drive the social web.  Of particular personal interest are issues with data, crowdsourcing, and the underlying infrastructure of the web.

Tim O'Reilly - O'Reilly Media - ABC Link

Tim O'Reilly, Founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media and Dan Patterson discuss Web 2.0 and the future development and design of source data.  Note About the Audio: During the interview the audio on our camera reverted to the default internal camera. This resulted in poor audio quality. We sincerely apologize for the sound quality. However, we strongly believe in the value of Mr. O'Reilly's insights and have elected to post this video regardless. We extend an invitation to Mr. O'Reilly to join us for an interview in our studios in Manhattan. Thank you. - DHP

All videos were originally posted in the ABC News Radio video feed.
