The Pipeline is an interview show with innovators, designers, geeks, newsmakers, and people who create things.

I’ve been following this podcast since Episode 1, and each show has been immensely interesting. Some of them rank amongst the most inspiring interviews I’ve ever seen, heard or read. If you have any interest in the web and its community, or are passionate about making stuff, I highly recommend this show. Great host, excellent questions, and of course, an amazing line-up.

The winner? Feeder.

I believe it is crucial to understand, and as far as the web is concerned, this article should help in doing just that.

The web might remain one step behind, yet it is always two steps ahead.
