Viddler is the hero of the day

At yesterday’s Podcamp DC, one of the sponsors was Viddler. If you don’t know they are, then that’s alright because honestly I never paid them any mind either way. But that all changed after yesterday’s event. Viddler is basically like YouTube but what I’ve enjoyed about their service is that you’re not constrained to a […]

Video from Podcamp DC: New media and the new journalism

Perhaps one of the most popular sessions that I saw at yesterday’s Podcamp DC, I felt that this session was quite entertaining and it seemed to me that everytime Jim Long speaks, there’s always a huge crowd following him (similiar to Twitter). For me, this was the first time that I actually got to see […]

Podcamp DC: Integrating Social Media With Small Business (VIDEO)

One of the great sessions that I attended at yesterday’s Podcamp DC event was when social media guru, Shashi Bellamkonda from Network Solutions gave his talk on how small businesses can utilize social media to their advantage. From purchasing your domain, googling your name, and creating a Facebook fan page to much more, this 30-minute […]

Podcamp DC: Good But Not Great

For the first time in my life, I just attended Podcamp DC in Rosslyn, Virginia. Before this, I had attended Widget DevCamp and that didn’t seem like anything appealing to me and had an essence of being more for developers. However, today’s meetup, to me, was something more for developers, designers, marketers, journalists, etc. and had […]

Live From Podcamp DC

So I’ve finally arrived at Podcamp DC and it’s been an interesting ride thus far. Stopped by the first session and learned a little about how to set up your podcast and then bailed probably a few minutes in to head over to another session where Podcast organizer Christopher Penn was talking about setting up […]

The power is not in the pen, but in the keyboard

So I always enjoy hearing about people exploiting social media and making it what it could be. Blogging guru Dave Winer recently published a rather scathing article on the very poor service by Comcast and how they are not “social media-friendly”. It used to be that only companies feared the power of printed pieces that […]

Podcamp DC, Here I Come!

So after being told that some of the people that I know are going to Podcamp DC this Saturday, I decided to see if I could register. At one point, I noticed that registration was now closed and you’d have to be bumped to the waitlist. Well, forget that! Then just yesterday I tried to […]

Social media makes linking awfully tough

In a majority of my posts, I link to a lot of folks, but there are times when I wonder what’s the right place to link to. I’d like to be consistent in my linking and perhaps the obvious choice is the person’s website and that’ll probably solve all my problems right there. But what […]

What You Need to Know About Doing Email Marketing

I just came back from a pretty interesting conference for work relating to our CRM system and there was this presentation on how it integrates with an email marketing application. I find it awesome, and we’re taking advantage of it, but what slightly concerns me is how people expect to put together email marketing. It’s […]

Have I told you that I admire Seth Godin?

In an earlier post, I had talked about “dropping names” and I’ve been astonished by the folks that I’ve encountered online – people like Robert Scoble, Geoff Livingston, Shel Israel, Jim Long, Loic Le Meur, and even Dave Winer. Not to go on a tangent or anything, but I happened to come across Robert Scoble […]
