Follow Up
In case you’re wondering, yes I did check the analytics for this site and the Flickr views of the slides. Even though I proposed doing so may not be appropriate for personal publishing.

Question One
Are we making ourselves crazy or just acutely neurotic?

Reason 2: Ideas are Powerful
The first of three reasons that I decided to present at PodCamp 2010 was the desire to be part of the solution: part of the effort to make the Nashville Camp events as great as I believe they can be.
This sounds a little Hug-centric for someone like me, but it is born out of the observation that they’re good events, but not great ones. And I don’t mean to belittle the enormous effort...

Reason 1: Be Part of the Solution
I said last week that PodCamp 09 was not everything I expected. Hell, I went so far as to call some of the sessions “eye-gougingly awful.” I stand by that statement (and I’m still not naming names).
To be clear here, am NOT saying that my session will not be eye-gougingly awful. I hope it won’t but fascination is in the eye of the beholder. I’m going to (try to) give...

Why Am I Speaking at #PCN10?
When I read the email announcing that Session Creation for PodCamp Nashville 2010 was open I opened a new browser window, logged into the PodCamp Nashville site and clicked the “CREATE A SESSION” link in the site banner.
And then I left that browser window open on my laptop for 4 days.
I’d cycle through browser looking for something and flinch when the #PCN10 website zipped...

You Should Volunteer for BarCamp and PodCamp
I can’t really say why I joined the BarCamp 09 Planning Committee.
The how was easy. Around the time planning was to start ramping up the inimitable Ted Chapin put out a message through the Nashville Nerd Wire (DN, BCN/PCN, etc.) saying what I said in my headline: You Should Volunteer.
I attended PodCamp 09 on a whim. I was one of the myriad last minute-registrants as I learned of the...

About the Session
Here’s how I described the session on the #PCN10 website:
Pundits tell us that individuals have more power now than ever before thanks to the explosion of personal media from blogging to podcasting to video sharing to social networking to mobile apps to location-based services.
Are we using this power responsibly and effectively? Is social media growth sustainable? Why are we behaving in...

What is PodCamp Nashville?
From the website (http://www.podcampnashville.org/):
If digital content is truly king, then PodCamp Nashville is a royal playpen for digital enthusiasts all unto its own. It’s Nashville’s top event for sharing expertise about new media creation, distribution and promotion—an opportunity to find your digital voice.
Podcamp is a free grassroots event put on entirely by volunteer effort...

A Contrarian View of Social Media
This Tumblr will be the host of a presentation I am giving at PodCamp Nashville 2010 of the same title: Maybe We’re *ALL* Doing it Wrong: A Contrarian View of Social Media.
It will host pre- and post-presentation content as well as offer a forum for attendees to respond to the questions raised in the preso during and after the presentation.
