I am the CEO/CTO of our company and we just wanted to see people's reactions to what we were doing and the unConference was an excellent venue to do it in. It was awesome in several ways. People didn't want pitches and because we didn't pitch we were able to talk about, and get, a lot of new ideas that we would never have thought of if we were pitching instead of listening. It was a strange but excellent feeling to be in that atmosphere! We will be taking what we learned and putting it into our work and hope that this vibrant community will appreciate what we are doing. If not I am sure they will let us know in a very visual and vocal way and I expect nothing less.

I dont have the exact URL but visit the blog section of techpodcasts.com and look in the roundtable category.

During our conversation she said friends ask her about her show by saying "that's great why don't you try to get it on tv?" When I answered for her I said "because it isn't meant for tv" and she nearly exploded with the "OMG you get it!" face. So we discussed for a moment how we are involved in New Media whose purpose is not to try to get on tv but to interact with our own audience in a completely new way. It is this spirit of innovation and this revolutuion in thought that will keep the old media experience on the outside wondering what the heck are those people up to in there? Which is fine by me! Podcampnyc was an excellent experience. I was exposed to new technologies, new people, and their ideas and all of it has benefitted me and my business. Great job!

I did get some of those blank discs, as the guy from VA. attended my session "What's it like to create a video podcast". What i like about events like podamp is the level playing field it offers, the lack of artifice and ego. thanks for the article. http://gardenfork.tv very true!, not one PR person approached me the whole day.

Kudos go to co-founders Chris Brogan and Christopher S. Penn who came from Boston to help out on the day, as well as the dozens of volunteers on site who sprung up to help where needed. It means a HUGE deal that you felt participants at the event had the 'innovative spirit, creative backbone, and long-term vision' you mentioned in your article. While I don't want to compare or generalize, I do have to say that's why I've been involved with the event. The podcast/new media community is incredibly supportive (even 'rival' firms/podcasters use the tersm, 'coopertition' coined by C.C. Chapman and Mitch Joel) and edifying, with a central focus on education and networking. Podcamp NYC and the Podcamp movement in general will continue to work to support that vision no matter how popular (with gracious posts like yours!) future events become. (And by the way, that is an invite to PodCamp NYC 2.0!) -John C. Havens Lead Organizer, Podcamp NYC (www.podcampnyc.org) Hi Mark,
