I was invited to Mint Digital’s UGTV panel discussion last night, and of course, I had a couple of thoughts.

Rob Norman of MEC Interaction chaired the panel, and to start off he put some pictures of known celebrities up on the screen, then he put up a picture of someone who looked familiar, but I [...]

Meeting Bill Sobel was one of the smartest things I’ve done lately. He’s the master connector of media, and he’s got a big heart as well. [He has a stack of gardenfork.tv postcards prominently displayed at his events.] His monthly NYMIEG breakfasts are great. He has engaging panelists, I always meet several interesting people, [...]

After learning about the success of Pixelodeon on the west coast, I posted a note on the Yahoo Videoblogging group if an east coast version could be made to happen. Then Vloggercue was announced by Adam Quirk. Videos being projected on a screen, vloggers, and drinks over a weekend. I will at least be there [...]

Last night at the NY Videoblog meetup, we got to hear from Kat from Lets Knit 2 Gether.

Definitely the flip side of many ’seat of the pants’ video podcasts. Kat’s husband, Eric, is a professional videographer, and they produce a real TV show, they even use a teleprompter. Kat showed us a powerpoint presentation on [...]

This is what Web 2.0 luminary said to me last week.
I listen to internet radio. I love it. I can’t stand terrestial radio, way too much hype, bad advertising, and really bad playlists. In the car, we listen to podcasts or songs we’ve bought on iTunes.
