Manton talks to Daniel about his upcoming Micro Camp conference, and the process he went through in acquiring the associated micro.camp domain. They talk about taking advantage of the benefits of “content marketing” without being sleazy about it, and the value of trying lots of different things. Daniel shares his reaction to the New York Times announcing they are dropping support for the puzzle file format that Black Ink uses, and the impact it’s having on the Times’s and his customers.
