They over-promise and under-deliver. They\u2019re not actually that easy to use. They mess up your HTML, and often outright eliminate content. I don\u2019t want to make any of those mistakes. That\u2019s what makes the feature hard, and that\u2019s the reason users haven\u2019t seen it yet in MarsEdit.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nShawn has a great knack for interviews. Like many web-based dialogues, the actual communication takes place via email. But unlike so many where the questions are drawn up ahead of time and then answered in one fell swoop, Shawn&#8217;s interviews take place organically, as an in-person conversation would.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe process of responding to dozens of emails back and forth takes time &#8211; over 2 weeks I think we spent. But the end result is obviously a lot more interactive, and covers a lot more territory than one would cover by attempting to guess all the questions up front.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThanks a lot for taking the time to chat with me, Shawn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shawn Blanc has posted his latest interview, and I&#8217;m honored to say that it is with me!
