My Interview in Wired.com

In May I participated in AssignmentZero’s Interview Week. The stories have been making their way online at Wired.com this week, and today mine went up! Check it.

Exploring the Dark Side of Crowdsourcing
As the creator of Subvert and Profit, a site that makes a business out of gaming social media site Digg for paying advertisers, “Ragnar Danneskjold” is not afraid of getting his hands dirty. But is he really a Robin Hood for Web 2.0 or just a crowdhacking profiteer?

And if you dig it, well, Digg it!

Looks like Ragnar Danneskjold was found dead from an accident. Subvert & Profit has been down for the last 3 weeks. This would explain thing.

No further details were given.

RIP Ragnar: You were disliked by many, but nobody could call you a criminal

With deep sadness, the subvertandprofit.com team brings you news of a
tragic accident last month that took the life of a subvertprofit.com
founder. The past weeks have been very difficult for family, friends
and fellow crowdsourcing marketers. The sudden sense of personal
shock and grief contrasted so starkly with the euphoria and vibrance
associated with the innovative expansion that has been underway here
at subvertandprofit.com

Nonetheless, we must apologize for the resultant affects that, until
now, have given us pause in accepting your content and votes. As we
have celebrated the life of one of our brilliant undercover marketing
pioneers, we are uplifted to know of your support and are at your
service to assist you in high-rank placements and content voting
assignments.
