S100: What’s happening? Are you interviewing yourself?
MB: No, I’m not the only one involved in Sensor100. We just thought it
might be fun for me to tell my own story
S100: OK, so why did you start Sensor100?
MB: It started as an experiment in social media - we wanted to see
what it was all about. I chose sensors as topic because I know some-
thing about it (at least, I used to!) and it has been a lifelong interest.
The experiment has developed into this Newsletter.
S100: How as that worked out for you?
MB: Interest in and circulation of the Newsletter is growing steadily.
Conference organisers, of which there are many, like to promote their
events. The technology and company news always seem to get reader
interest. The Editors page is possibly the least read page!
