They all did an incredible job at organizing an amazing podcamp. Over 500 people were in attendance, that’s only 300 wankers who pulled no-shows.

While the hallway chatter was awesome, I did manage to attend plenty of sessions too. I love the way podcamp presentations always become discussions in the latter portions. The final session to discuss plans for PodCamp Toronto 2010 was a fun example of that.

A special shout out goes to my C’est What pals, Irish Embassy posse, and my food court fiasco friends, you all know who you are (excluding Julien of course :-))

I can’t believe PodCamp Nashville is just two weeks away. I am so excited to be attending (and organizing) another community unconference. Be sure to check out the PodCamp Toronto wiki to see videos from the sessions, and be sure to have a look at the photos on Flickr.

Some lessons people learned included: be honest and transparent (I’ve been preaching this one for a long time), one person learned a valuable lesson about this; think less about metrics and more about user experience, are your readers happy (are YOU happy with my blog?), thanks Jeremy; and the best problem to have at an event is to have too many great sessions happening at one time, cheers @40deuce.

Thanks to everyone in the T Dot*!

Cheers,
Dave

If you’re not here at PodCamp Toronto you’re seriously missing an amazing time. I’m not posting this to rub it in. I’m actually writing to share a session I recorded with iTalk, to give you a taste of the quality of sessions here. Don’t miss PodCamp Nashville on March 7th!

I always love presentations by this guy! His name is Chris Brogan (you may have heard of him before).

Enjoy Heresy, Hipocrisy, and Sin. Listen here.

This is really a fantastic way to show the world who you’re following. So this early morning, pre-flight to Toronto for PodCamp post is dedicated to my Twitter pals.

If you don’t see yourself below please leave me a comment with your Twitter profile name and I’ll be sure to follow you back.

Sorry about that loyal reader, I appreciate that you’ve stopped by. Here’s a quick break down on the stuff I’ve been up to:

  • I presented at the SouthEastern Journalism Conferece at Belmont University. Here’s a quick video interview on my predictions for the future of Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. Also, a transcript of my session (thanks Dr. Syb).
  • Working feverishly with the rest of the PodCamp Nashville crew on creating a bigger and better PodCamp Nashville 2009! If you’re planning to be there you should register today while space remains.
  • Developing my presentation: Twitter: 140 Characters To Better Brands for PodCamp Toronto this weekend. I hope to connect with you in my home town.
  • Making new friends as my alter ego at the office @griffintech. Are we friends on Twitter there too?
  • Blacking out my personal Twitter avatar in protest of the New Zealand Internet censorship occurring. You should too.
  • Playing with Glue. Are you?
  • Scoffing at Twitter’s big boo boo.

What have you been up to?
