There is a lot of good discussion centered around the Ford Motor Company foray into Social Media with this ‘press release’ - they get it and see what’s happening.
Podcamp Boston is in late October
Boston Red Sox will be playing in late October….( cross fingers )
Mobile Monday Boston will be October 30th
We are opening the doors for just a little while….come on by and take the new system for a spin - http://podcast.com/beta/
We are right in the thick of this - normalizing - optimizing - mobilizing - localizing - globalizing - monetizing the V.I.T.A.L RSS/OPML media (video/image/text/audio/link) for personal consumption via an open platform - the web of data - 3.0 - pretty cool.
Cool promo idea from the folks at PodCampAZ - Here it is…..
This one time at podcamp…
I know, Labor Day is suppost to be a day off, but I got this bug in my butt to get some promotions moving for PodCamp. So based on the suggestions on the Google Group, I busted out a new promotion. I need your help to make it successful. Here’s how it works:
- Make a 10 second (or less) video clip that falls in line with the phrase “This one time at PodCamp…” and can be closed up by the phrase “…it could happen”
- Upload it to the box account at: ThisOneTimeAtPodCamp.com
- Do it by October 1st
I’m so excited about the promo videos. I can’t wait to see them. Feel free to ask any questions if you have any right here.
Thanks!
The subdomain system for brands to build their own customized social multimedia networking podcast site to amplify podcasts is coming along - check out the progress here - demo.podcast.com - The great thing about generic term domain names is that when the subdomain is a brand name, your brand doesn’t get diluted by our domain name!
cool concept that Kosso has been utilizing and I see how it’s extendable into the Treedia platform, but wow…horrible documentation for Macs & iSight’s - none at all.
