Thanks Bernie! Part 2 of the interview does indeed get into specifics a little more deeply and touches on some of the methods and deliverables that Colm employed during the H3 development process. So, tune in again…

L long — I just wrote the thing, I don’t decide how it’s apportioned and doled out to you. Take it up with the fine folks at Boxes and Arrows. (Tho’ I suspect that their reasons are less manipulative and Machiavellian than you seem to think—the reason I was given is that they try to keep articles to a reasonable length and this one goes longer than that average.)

And I, too, regret your decision to submit to Digg if your brand of ‘crap’ is typical of the quality of insight and analysis that appearing over there will bring over here. Don’t blame me for your hair-trigger Digg finger. (Since when is ‘reading the damn article’ considered ‘due diligence’ anyway?)

And now, by… er… ‘popular’ demand, Part 2 of this interview is now up and available for comment.

Hi Andrew—great question! I feel compelled to clarify that it was Colm’s response to my question, so I will forward this on to him for clarification. But it’s my understanding that the interviewer, Max, freely offered up the direct feedback as a wrapup to the phone call.

So—you’re right—honest and unsolicited feedback during a phone interview is all-too-rare, and wonderful when its given (and, as you can see, gave Colm the chance to ‘set things right’ and impress with his ambition and drive.) Perhaps, as interviewees, we should all get into the practice of -asking- for feedback as the last point of a first phone-interview. Perhaps something like… “May I ask… how do you feel today’s interview has gone? Do you have any concerns or questions that I can answer right now, or perhaps work to deliver an answer within [timeframe of our choosing]?”
