Podcamp City Online was a HUGE success!

July 31, 2007

I have to say that the first online podcamp was a huge success and I am glad to have been a co-organizer of it. Co-Organizer Ava from AvaHosting.Biz and I worked very hard the week before training speakers, setting up the room, and implementing our final marketing strategies.

We had over 100 people come into the room the entire day with the room peaking at 40 people in the afternoon.

We had over 11 speakers including myself on topics from Dr. Kathleen P. King’s Podcasting on a Budget for Everyone to John Ciampa’s Web 2.0 & A Look At How To Be Successful By using Emerging Trends to Create Wealth Online All While Loving What You Do to Ralph Mucci’s How to get noticed with your Podcast to Radio DJ Lisa Tolliver’s The Power of Podcasting. The last speaker Fred G.Castaneda, had the most powerful session of all titled How to Avoid Burnout & Prevent Podfading.

My two sessions were How To Upgrade Your Podcast to a Podcast Network and The Power of the RSS Feed and using it to get more subscribers.

The evening ended with the traditional live entertainment that most podcamps have. Yes, you may have guessed it from the above photo of me that I jammed out on the tenor saxophone to the remaining crowd at 9:50 PM. I played brand new jazz fusion that I wrote and recorded at 5:00 AM that day. I just thought we should have live entertainment as well even as an online podcamp.

We would like to thank all of the great podcasters and bloggers for coming to Podcamp City Online as well as the speakers. You all made it a very fun and memorable day.

Sincerely,

I have some good news for you Twitter fans out there. Now, if you log into your PodcasterWhosWho.com (PWW) web page and enter your Twitter ID, your latest Twitter comment will automatically show up on your PodcasterWhosWho.com member page.

How are we making this happen? We are using the Twitter API to interface with your Twitter page. This is a big step for PodcasterWhosWho.com members who are nuts about Twitter.

For those of you who do not know about Twitter, it is a simple social networking tool which allows you to enter comments of up to 140 characters. It seems that the social networking world has embraced it and meshed it with the Web 2.0 movement.
