A podcast with Flip Kromer of InfoChimps… and the end of an era

I’ve been following InfoChimps for some time, intrigued by their aspiration to build a marketplace for data that combines the free with the paid. Thanks to the team at Jones-Dilworth (honestly, does Josh have any clients that aren’t interesting?) I managed to get some time with founder Philip (Flip) Kromer and Joseph Kelly whilst over in the States for Defrag last month.

Earlier this week Flip and I got together on Skype to reprise some of the conversation as a podcast, which is now available.
