Beans, Red Sox, and Podcamp
Friday, October 26th, 2007
I am here in Boston for the 1st, 2nd Annual Podcamp. For those that are not familiar with Podcamp, it is essentially a podcasting conference that is modeled on the Barcamp ‘unconference’ style. That is to say it is less about rigid structures in terms of meetings, lectures, and the like, but more about community, learning and networking. So why did I leave the awesome weather of California bay area to come to Boston (which truth be told is very mild, considering I was half expecting freezing conditions)? I have been podcasting for over 2 years, and I have a tremendous amount of experience that I would like to share with folks. In addition, I have a few questions about WordPress blogs, SEO, and general things that I’d like to follow-up on with some folks. Who am I looking forward to seeing? Chris Penn (The host/creator/producer/grand wizard) of the Podcamp movement along with his partner in crime, Chris Brogan. CC Chapman (Accident Hash), Jennifer Iannolo (Food Philosophy), Mark Tafoya (reMARKable palate), Julien Smith (In Over Your Head), Ariel (Ariel Publicity), and so many, many others.
I can think of a few people that should be here, but for reasons unbeknownst to me, they aren’t. You know who you are and you will be missed. I’ll have a beer for you.
This is just the initial post - I am sure there’ll be much more over this weekend. Stay tuned for evidence of all the craziness that is PodCamp.
