Comments on: Obama’s CTO short list http://bennett.com/blog/2008/10/obamas-cto-short-list/ A regular old blog Fri, 04 Sep 2009 23:51:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Doc Searls http://bennett.com/blog/2008/10/obamas-cto-short-list/comment-page-1/#comment-427396 Doc Searls Fri, 24 Oct 2008 12:35:30 +0000 http://bennett.com/blog/2008/10/obamas-cto-short-list/#comment-427396 Agree about Ed Felten. When I first read about the CTO idea, Felten came immediately to mind. I don't think Vint would take the gig, mostly because he likes his Google job too much. I kinda doubt he'd relish being a high-level bureaucrat. Balmer is a red herring. Gates would be a more subtle name to float, though he wouldn't take the job, either. Agree about Ed Felten.
