Pivotable Pod by Yoshimura - Donn Maeda - ep 16

Yeah, so Transworld, all the way through magazine and then internet, the website.

I remember the funny story about the website with Transworld.

We needed those key fobs to get in.

That was

so bad.

The number changed every 30 seconds.

That was dumb.

Like a security thing to work on the internet at Transworld Motocross.

Because all the Transworld titles had one internet thing and then there was just different skins, right?

You know what's crazy about that? The website, right? We had a weekly menu.

It was

funny back then, too, because I didn't even interrupt you, but it was all about the magazine.

You're like, dude, why do I have to do this website stuff? I'm doing a magazine.

Yeah, yeah,

yeah.

And then it

went whoop.

Switched, right? But I remember we'd all have those editorial summits where all the editors and all the ad guys had to go meet off-site somewhere.

I remember I had to speak one time at an editorial summit because we had the most successful – website within Transworld, right? But I just, it was just a menu, right? Monday, kickstart, Tuesday, tips, like a writing set, Wednesday, wallpapers, Thursday, theater was video, because video was really new then.

And Friday, feature was a written feature, and then race report, sorry, Sunday or whatever.

I remember I had to get up there and give this presentation about this and that.

And I remember another editor from Mexico, you guys post something on the website every day? How can you do that? And I'm all, well, no.

Every one of my editors is required to do something on the website every day.

But that's our staple menu.

You know, that's what you can expect.
