Podcamp Philly Panel 2007
I had the privilege of sitting on the Podcasting Business panel at Podcamp Philadelphia two weeks ago. There were a lot of smart and talented podcasters with me. You can watch the whole session here: http://folkmediablog.blogspot.com/2007/09/folkmedia-biz-podcasting-panel-podcamp.html

New Google Presentations!
I am excited that Google has added presentation slides to their docs and spreadsheets app.
I know that Google will most likely take over the world – but they sure are going to make me and other people happy while they do it. Now I can create presentations online.
Too early to tell – but the application seems a little primitive. It seems like it will be great for showing clients presentations in real time or for publishing slides from live presentations.
What will you use this new app for? I’d love to hear suggestions.

If you've never met Steve Garfield - you are missing out. He is one of the most interesting and fascinating characters I know. Check out my interview with him at Podcamp Philadelphia this past weekend...

Podcamp Philly 2007
Podcamp Philly was this past weekend. This is me with Paul Kontonis, CEO of For Your Imagination in New York. They are a new media company producing online shows.
Podcamp was awesome! I presented in three sessions – “Thinking Like a Producer” – “Developing Your Elevator Pitch” – and the panel “Podcasting & Blogging for businesses.”
I also got to do several interviews for Folk Media. I’ll post these in the next few days.
In the meantime here are links to coverage of the festivities:

On The Air 24/7
Podcamp is a weird experience. You are being recorded constantly. I logged onto the Podcamp stream on Flickr yesterday and saw my photo flying around the net. Not sure who took the shot and posted it. I don't even remember having my photo taken.
My life is now transparent. So is yours.
It is a lesson in the new media world. Be ready to be on camera at ANY time. The whole weekend was also streamed live over Justin.TV.
So for those of you who are awake and realize that we are "on air" 24/7 - Here are a few helpful tips for living a life in a new media culture...
Tip #1 - Never assume that you can leave your house without combing your hair.
This seems like basic advice - but I see people do it all the time.
Tip #2 - Always take a camera with you.
You are a media creator too - don't be passive. The best kind of camera is one that can shoot both stills and video. A big plus if it is low key and small.
Tip #3 - You should be ready to capitalize on a good meme when it sprouts up.
A couple guys at podcamp pittsburgh came up with the term Bacn "email you want, but not right now" and it is sweeping the world - thanks to social media. I was there when they created it just a few weeks ago and now they have used media to move a great idea forward.
Tip #4 - Always consider your words.
Be truthful - consistent - and positive. What you say is being captured and it will be available for the whole world. Don't gossip or talk bad about other people. They WILL find out. Always talk positively about other people. They WILL find out - and that is a good thing.
Tip #5 - Be Natural
Act naturally - especially when a camera is rolling. The camera has a way of picking up on insincerity better than the human eye.
Tip #6 - Make boggers and podcasters your friends.
They will paint you in a better light if they like you. Better yet get your own show and begin posting your own content.
Tip #7 - Don't be an idiot.
Do I really need to explain this one?
Tip #8 - Build relationships.
Chris Brogan is a huge proponent of using digital tools to build better relationships. After all isn't this what social media is all about?
What tips do you have for all of us living in an "on the air" world 24/7? Thoughts?
