Randal got his PhD from Sloan School of Business, MIT, and worked with Keith Hampton on his eNeighbors project. Possibly like me, you met Randal at a conference. What you may not have seen is this dialogue between The Donald and TV celeb interviewer Larry King December 19, 2005. King: I don't even know how to touch a blog. Do you know how to blog? ... Do you know how to reach a blogger? Trump: I have no idea. Everybody that works for me knows. Me? I have no interest. King: I have no idea how to reach a blogger. I've never sent an e-mail. I don't know what I'm doing." Source: Rick McGinnis, "Tube Talk." Toronto Metro, 21Dec05: 41 (rick.mcginnis@metronews.ca) PS: The subject was blog talk about whether Randal being an African-American had anything to do with his victory.
