Invasion of the Pod Tweeple #pcb4

August 14th, 2009 · 3:09 am → Blog Social Media

I never had the whole "Kumbaya" camp experience as a kid. There were two summers I was signed up for the town rec. department's "Summer Scene" day program. A few weeks in, they'd run out of gimp. I'd be out of the bracelet making biz, free to spend time with the devil's spawn little angels from my class who showed their affection by bestowing upon me a super-great nickname. Man – I sure had a lot of <cough>"colds"</cough> that summer.

Thankfully, PodCamp came to the rescue last weekend and gave my inner child a big ole' hug. (Better late than never, right?) Over the course of my career I've been lucky enough to work in several great industries. That said, the new media space is by far the most welcoming and vibrant community I have experienced. Spending two days with other professionals engaged with adopting technology to enrich everyday life was transformational. In short: y'all rocked my world. No joke.

I'm still working through my notes, so I'll write another post to share my highlights. In the meantime, I'd like to send shout outs to the folks who made my PCB4 experience so fab-u-lous. Guido Stein, Adam Zand, Steve Garfield, Tamsen McMahon, Mick Darling, Michael Lawson, Sam Sacks, Todd Van Hoosear, Gradon Tripp, Kurt Eng, Dave Werner, Jeff Cutler, Joselin Mane, David Wieneke, Rick Stein, Mike Volpe, Karen Rubin, Christopher Penn, Chris Brogan, CC Chapman, Rich Sands, Dave Cutler, Patrick Richardson, Bob Collins, Matt Searle, Steve Sherlock, Richard Reeve, Christine Major, Chris Abraham, Roberta Baldwin, Al Willis, Dan Ronke and the countless other session participants with whom I did not speak directly. And then there are the people I didn't get the chance to meet. Don't even get me started on that list. @cspenn gave a great tip on Twitter about checking the Event Brite registration list for a memory jolt re: names and contact info. Thanks Chris!

I've been following the #pcb4 Twitter stream and have gotten a lot out of the thoughtful posts written. The links I've grabbed are shared below. Consider it my little "thanks-for-being-awesome" treat.

NOTE BENE:

These links were pulled from public forums. Regardless, if anyone would like me to remove their content, I would be happy to do so.
Please email me or post any links I missed in the comments and I will add them to the list.
