This weekend is podcamp Boston 4, and the original Blogstring crew will reunite to provide total coverage. In other words, Sarah is coming up from D.C., and we’ll be at podcamp.
I think that- in the past year- I’ve turned into a grumpy old man. That’s not to say that I wasn’t like that last year, [...]

My Blogging Workflow: Thoughts From My Podcamp Boston 3 Presentation

Yesterday I gave a presentation entitled “Discovery- How People Find Blogs, Video and Podcasts They Love & What That Means To You” at podcamp Boston 3. The powerpoint is available here, and the audio here.
After the presentation, I started to think of different techniques I use to produce and promote my blog posts and came [...]

Podcamp 3 Boston Panel: Discovery- How People Find Blogs, Video and Podcasts They Love & What That Means To You

The Powerpoint Presentation from my panel is available here.
The audio is available here.
So, this will be the most self-referential blog post I’ve ever done. I’m here at podcamp Boston 3, giving a presentation on Discovery- how people find blogs, video and podcasts they love and what that means.

PodCamp Here We Come

Nate already covered this yesterday, but  I had to throw in my two cents–I am psyched for this weekend’s PodCamp Boston 3. I had a few goals, and I figured if I put them in writing it might make it more likely I follow through on them:

I missed out on the chat. (It may have been taking place while Christi Eubanks and I were [...]

Blogging = Reciprocal Altruism

I only mention that because the social media phenomenon is particularly interesting to me because of the sociological aspects of the interactions and connections between participants.
After podcamp, I was thinking about the motivation behind adding friends, [...]

Initial PodCamp Takeaways…

Podcamp Boston 2 wrapped up yesterday, and I had the great pleasure to be in attendance. Many, many thanks go to Chris Brogan and Chris Penn (and countless others) for putting together such a stellar weekend. I hope the other attendees got as much out of it as I did!
I hope to cover a [...]

podcamp Boston wrapup

podcamp Boston was most excellent. That’s coming from a guy that knows nothing about podcasting whatsoever.
I thought I’d post a short wrapup of the things I found most interesting:
1. Twitter is HUUUUUGE.
I’ve been resisting the twitter phenomenon for a long time. That era is over. I was simply blown away by the sheer number of [...]
