Attending Podcamp Montreal, I was inspired by both Mitch Joel and CC Chapman’s challenge to do something you’ve not tried before, and in my case, that would be a full on video post so here is mine, extending on a theme mentioned at the same session about ranting and calling companies out online. In line with “podcasting from the heart” I did this in one take with no edits. Let me know what you thought and if you’d like to see more of this!
As Sham has already reported, SMB:S2 will be happening in three weeks on the 24th of May, 2008. All the details can be found at the Facebook event page.
Who should come?
Anyone interested and passionate about the social media space, be it blogging, podcasting, social networks, micro blogging etc. What this event is not, however, is a blogger outing that is so popular around Singapore. Read up about the original event and check out the blog coverage if you think you might be interested!
ps: The event is open to all so feel free to invite fellow friends to the Facebook event page, hopefully people who can help move the conversation further.
There’ll definitely be more news and updates as and when it happens, so stay tuned. Meanwhile, we already have 19 confirmed guests on the Facebook event page, won’t you be one of them too? What would you like to see that this SMB? More structure? A proper format and/or discussions? Let me know and we’ll see how we can factor it in.
As reported by Advertising Age, advertisers and marketers are beginning to turn to podcasts for places to sell (or at least create a presence) for their products.
I think that’s pretty interesting for people thinking about doing their own podcasts (I keep thinking about Scooter groups on WetPaint). After all, even the people who do Mugglecast are getting money and stuff (I say stuff because it ranges from Subway coupons to other things).
I guess the biggest draw here is not so much the amount of reach, but who you’re reaching. Harry Potter merchandisers could easily tap into Mugglecast, Pottercast and the others out there, and of course, Scooter wheel retailers could target Scooter groups. Better ways to spend marketing dollars, no?
