A group distraction, presented by nige.
----------
The first instalment of Interview52 is now complete! It started on Friday 18th July 2008 and finished on 13th September 2009. A little later than expected, but we got there.
----------
52 mobloggers from around the world...
Some familiar, some not...
Each will publish a unique self-portrait, accompanied by a short interview.
Candid portrait meets candid interview.
The Rules
Every Friday the next interviewee in line will publish a new portrait and interview, consisting of their answers to the ten questions they have been given.
After they have published, the interviewee will then become the interviewer. They will be responsible for finding the next participant, as well as compiling the questions that this next person in line will answer. Interviewers can change as many or as few questions as they like, but they should change at least one before passing them on to the next lucky punter.
Thats it! Simple. More detailed instructions will be given to each interviewee as and when they are approached, so fear not.

YeeY, I'm in. As long as it's not before the 1st of September ? :) The more uncomfortable the questions the better :)
*rubs hands
i can make yours after the 1st Sep no problemo. yeah baby.
that would be a great idea! maybe we could incorporate it, or perhaps a whole 'nother project of it's own. i like that idea.
You could even set up a connection between 2 web cams and ask the questions in person :)
Late Night with Nige
and off to bed.
Anyway if your going to have a video interview, add one extra question, the last one.
"How do you pronounce Moblog"
Still haven't figured that out. :)
funny you should mention that. check out this string on alfie's blog:

I know, and I am still clueless......
We should open a group blog to finally resolve this, upload your moblog pronunciation. We all vote and that is it!
Done,
Will make it look pretty tomorrow :)
http://moblog.net/Pronounce/
oh my days! you'll have to create a tally as well to keep track. i'll be leaving my version tomorrow!
Ahw CRAP!! They took down the ability to vote with Moblog 2,.... and it would finally have been useful.
sounds interesting... i'll play if you want me. at least i'd definitely read everyone else's posts so i should probably offer myself up to be involved :P
Brilliant idea Nige. I'm in and don't worry about awkward questions.
mscm, absolutely! you're in and i will most certainly be in touch rather soon :)
thanks t. this could be good...
*rubs hands
*again
sounds cool - I'd happily join in if you'll have me?.....
Like the sound of this..
People have probably seen enough of me but I'd be up for it in a little while, if you want.
Bit busy now but mid-August onwards would be good.
Are you going to do a call for intrusive/revealing/quirky questions?
definitely OJ. i'll pen you in for some way down the line.
you're the journo, so yes, intrusive/revealing/quirky questions would be rather welcome. my preference would be to ask questions that may be a bit uncomfortable and telling, but i thought that may be a bit prohibitive to people joining the group. i guess it could be tailored for each participant though.
I didn't mean that you should get me to suggest questions particularly. Could you make it part of the project to get group members to suggest questions?
I've developed a strange addiction to a Facebook app called "10 second interview" this last week or so....and that has some truly odd questions that other punters have chucked in. They're quite geared towards short and snappy answers (and sarcasm in my case) rather than long or revealing ones though.
oh, sorry, i see what you mean. actually, one of the things i thought of initially was to get the moblogger of the given week to suggest a mandatory question for the next in line to answer. more involvement would be better though, i think. it would be great for people to suggest questions, absolutely.
i know the app you're talking about actually. i stumbled on it on my sisters profile quite recently and found something out about her (and me) that i never knew. it made me smile :)
I have a habit of deflecting the question back at the interviewer, mostly sarcastically.
Clearly, there are sincerity issues. But I'm intrigued now by the revelation!
nice one 'hobo!
answering a question with another question. i'm familiar with that practice, OJ :)
the revelation as in what i found out on my sisters page? i think the question was something along the lines of "who do you confide in when you feel low and need a sympathetic ear?". i was the answer :)
Nah, people must be sick of me by now.
Maybe one of my family members will be game.
Yes I'll join in Nige. Here's my answers:
Blue.
Ruislip.
Six on a good day.
Because it can get into small places.
Yes, and people cheered afterwards.
