In 2010, I founded what has now become <a href="http://vc.ru/" target="_blank">vc.ru</a> (sometimes called “Russian Techcrunch”) and spent the first 5 years actively contributing to the website by writing thousands of posts, ranging from from startup coverage to market analytics to — my favorite genre — interviews. Doing interviews is relatively both easy and edifying. You’re not confined to your own limited skull space and having conversations with smart people enriches everyone involved. The interviewer gets to grapple with new ideas firsthand, the interviewee gets to share their knowledge in real time, and the readers, of course, get to hear relevant insights and personal stories in a conversational tone that they otherwise never would.
