Ambush Interview
 

starting thinking- and I won't be doing any ambush interviews on sat or sun or major holidays. I'm going to make it a mon-fri normal working day type thing - so check back monday for the next ambush interview.


thoughts and insight into this new project would be appreciated as well

only read one (WG) thought is was interesting !

I enjoy reading them. It's an interesting insight.

My suggestion would be to pick one of my designs ;-) See your other thread for my 2 entries. Fast, clean, and fresh. Other than that.. about 4-5 days after an interview is published, I'd create an edited version of the GFY page, where you hand-pick the questions and their answers and post them on your site. This will become a useful archive for any webmaster and will filter all the useless posts people make inside the interview threads.

I would like to see naked pictures of the people being interviewed included in the threads.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMm Smart Move :Graucho I would of done the same, concentrate your efforts when the most people are available :2 cents: Love the concept :thumbsup

Good idea! :thumbsup

Thing is, at some point you will run out of people. I wouldn't waste the first few days on all the hot shots.. Make us want more. I'd also ask more questions. This is an opportunity to create a massive DB of Q&As from most players - take advantage of it. Ask a bunch of initial questions and "surprise" the person with another bunch in the middle of the day.

Great stuff, but honestly if you're going to be doing it for profit ... it looses that "special touch". I would still read them, but I figured you were doing them for the hell of it.

mental note - MUST INTERIEW HOLLY

I also agree with Porn_Refinery.
With 20(-/+) interviews a month ... the hype will die down after the well known names get hit.

i listen when smart people give me good ideas.....takes a while for my brain to kick in - but i listen............. :thumbsup

actually I did the math before starting this and I know 500+ people that would make good candiates for this - about 2 years worth before repeating ANYONE.... and then it's a whole new crop of people in the game.

i'm doing them cause i want a directory like this and i think it should exist.

I'm going to be selling ads cause I can and i'm not stupid enough to do it for free when I can make some income from it. - reality is I'll probally throw most to all of the income I make off this back into it - in the form of parties, dinners and such like i do with my sig money

There aren't enough interesting people to fill ~ 240 interviews. I'd make it 3 interviews a week. AND, I'd accept questions from the public that they would like to ask a person on the "Upcoming Ambushes" list. This will make it more interesting. Say I see Lensman is on the list and will probably be "ambushed" sometime this month, I'd go ahead and submit a question or two. Sleazy will then use that list when compiling the initial questions list. This way even the less-hotshot people will be asked descent questions from THOSE WHO KNOW THEM :thumbsup

How about a special series where you interview the models from single model sites?

Well then, it should be fine I guess.

Have you ambushed bradshaw yet?

Same story all the time...

series bahhhh - but BOTH you and arika will get interviewed at some time in the future. can't tell you when - wouldn't be an ambush if i did.......might be monday - might be 6 months from now....

i'm going to mix it up with different people all the time

not YET.................

the idea behind using gfy is after they answer my questions they will answer any questions ANYONE asks.

Right, but you can keep the traffic coming to your site by having that type of system in place. Webmasters will check your site often to see who made it to the "upcoming" list so they can start thinking and submitting questions just in case they miss the "window of opportunity" to ask questions while the thread is active.

Mixing it up with people from different segments of the industry is a good Idea, and so is starting a site with the compilation of all the interwiews :thumbsup

it's an idea to consider...but i don't want to make this too much like work. i only want to spend 15 mins to 1/2 hour a day on this idea once it's up and running.

I can vouch for the sanity of this. It sucks to do something for fun only to have it turn into work. It makes you resent having to do it instead of enjoying it.

its why i WILL run advertising on it - just to help justify in my mind doing the work behind it - even i just use that money to have fun with at conventions.

Very smart, but hey.

I'm working on some things of my own. Scared to death over them, but if you're doing something new, there's always a little fear. When I said 2005 will be my year, I wasn't fucking around.

i did a list and got over 500 people quickly that are all interesting.

example - adult.com alone has Lensman, Eric, Spanno, Reddd, Tobby, Tools, Loryn, just off the top of my head - there are dozens of companies out there with this many people to interview plus all the single site people and other support industries.

and in 2 years there's a whole new crop of people too - i'll NEVER run out of interesting people to interview doing only 20 a month.

Have to agree again with Porn_Ref, a "suggestion" section would rock.
Like many around here, who have vaild things to ask or say ... we're not allways on the board when these threads get started.

People can create user accounts, and submit their questions for future people on the list(which can be chopped down, and then passed on).

But as you know, the list of things that "can" be done will go on and on. So Would suck to take the fun out of this project, by making it another "task". So i'm just going to shut up here, GL to you and looking foward to see how it turns out. :thumbsup

and you can always , do a "where are they now?" segment with the people you interwiewed the year before :thumbsup

Nice, sounds awesome, and so far all the interviews have been great and informative.

Put up a website with all the interviews

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I got a lot to say and you know I don't hold back...

:-))

i will take you up on that sometime

Verbal Diahrrea?????? :1orglaugh :winkwink:
