Interview With Shervin Pishevar
Posted by Nick O'Neill on December 15th, 2007 2:00 PMYesterday I had the opportunity to sit down and speak with Shervin Pishevar, the President of Webs.com. Shervin provided a lot of insight into the state of the social web and where it’s going. This interview is a little longer than my previous one but well worth the time. Shervin is helping lead Webs.com as it continues its phenomenal growth. According to Shervin’s bio, Freewebs (one of the Webs.com products), is now the 2nd largest publisher of content on the web. He has an impressive background and is a great person to speak with. Here is my interview with him:

Good interview! Shervin is an awesome guy and I definitely think they are going the right direction with SGN. I just hope they stay on track with games and don’t try to run over the remaining indie developers with stuff like gifts.
