PodCamp Has A Home »

PodCamp, the podcasting un-conference set to take place in Boston on September 9th and 10th now has a venue and a blog.
They also recently announced that they will be having an Expo floor of sorts where sponsors can show their wares and pitch their services. I hope I won’t have to parade past a bunch [...]

Booked For The Expo »

Just booked my ticket today for the left coast so I can attend the Portable Media and Podcast Expo. If you’re thinking about it I’d recommend taking action soon. The price on Continental from Newark to LAX jumped $50 since Friday. Of course, it could drop again after the Labor Day rush. Didn’t want to [...]

Defining Blogs and Podcasts - Part I »

I have two questions that I ‘d like to explore in this series of posts. What’s a Blog? and What’s a Podcast? The answers to these questions may seem to be simple but I’m increasingly finding out that it’s not so.
My motivation for exploring these issues lies in the fact that I am hearing quite [...]

PodShow No Show »

Word comes from my very confidential sources that PodShow is skipping the Portable Media and Podcast Expo this year. Remember that last year they did show up in Ontario but rather than gracing the actual Expo with their presence, the entire entourage remained sequestered nearby at the Sheraton hotel.
I’m sure that individual members of the [...]

According to the ‘about’ page on the Live Spaces website, “Windows Live Spaces is a free online software service where you can blog, share pictures and connect with the people you care aboutor the world at [...]

KYOU Revival »

Remember KYOU Radio? Way back in 2005 they made a big splash by announcing that their San Francisco area AM radio station (they’re 1550 on the AM dial if you’re in that vicinity) would accept and play podcast submissions as the entire content for their station.
The move was a controversial one at the time. From [...]

According to the ‘about’ page on the blog site, “We’ll provide insights into our company, our people, our culture, and the things that occupy our minds.”

Back On The Juice »

A couple of weeks back I lamented the fact that Juice Receiver seems to have become one of the last choices for new podcast listeners to subscribe. I decided to practice what I’ve preached and since then I’ve been utilizing Juice Receiver to subscribe to podcasts.
So far so good. I’m hoping that development continues so [...]

Dell Goes One2One »

Some might say I’m late on the story that Dell has entered the world of Social Media via their One2One blog. After all, it has been a month since Dell made the public jump into the very warm pool of social interaction on the web. My lateness is by design.
First off, I’ve noticed that the [...]
