PodCampNYC was buzzier than a post that’s made it big on digg. And, I thought I would spend Saturday being a mouse potato (see my pre-camp post!).

From the fringe of the fringe to main stream marketing insiders like Leesa Barnes of Podonomics (go here to listen to Leesa speaking at Podcasters Across Borders ) the whole wonderful wiki world seemed to be there. For business like reports, and background on the “unconference” movement see ZDnet and the New York Times. But, if you want to taste the day go to CC Chapman’s Flickr page.

And, if you still feel out of the loop click through some of these links – some of the poderati and new media celebs who show up in CC’s pics, e.g., Rocket Boom, Lynette Young, Chris Hambly with CC himself, The Diva, Kroosh, Eric Skiff (one of the organizers), Best Damn Tech Show, Roadie Show, Lee Coulter, Thoughtout.biz, Natalie Gelman, Brother Love, Blip TV, Chris Brogan (co-founder of podcamp), and many, many more. CC’s photos capture the great vibe at the meet up. There were viral smiles everywhere.

I arrived after lunch. I was stirred from my Saturday slouch by the twittering of Mark Wallace of 3pointD. Mark kicked the day off bright and early with Joseph Jaffe, Greg Verdino, Johnny Ming, and Adam Broitman, presenting “Social Media Convergence and Virtual Worlds.” You can watch the entire “social media convergence and virtual worlds” session here — video courtesy of PodcampNYC and TV Worldwide. Also, on Greg Verdino’s blog you will find pictures of the panelists (entire set on Flickr).

I was lucky to arrive for CC’s presentation thanks to that fabulous “waste” of time twitter. (see O’Reilly Media’s great comment on Twittervision!) To say CC was inspiring is an understatement. If you are involved in new media in any way, or you want to be, check his presentation out. There is a link to it on his blog.

I did try hard to stay home. But, when the live streaming was canceled on Second Life, Mark’s tweets starting exerting an iresistible pull on me. The stars of new media and some interesting UFOs had come out for Pod Camp, NYC. And, I was only a few subway stops from the whole shebang!

What Happened To PodCamp on Second Life?

I did manage to remember my ipod and I got an impromptu interview from Adam Broitman/Mockben Hegel – see imediaconnection for an early roadmap to marketing for Second Life success (as learned in-world by Mockben Hegel). He explained why the live streaming of PodCamp was canceled and what is going to happen in PodCamp Second Life instead.

We waited a little longer than we should have in terms of getting the build live – there were some questions with bandwidth and we weren’t sure of logistics. So, rather than stream live, we are extending the experience for the sponsors by keeping the build there for probably about three weeks . We will be bringing in all of the content and we gave full permission to all the sponsors and anyone who is part of the community do whatever they want with the sim. Come and co-create.

This way the experience is not just encapsulated in one day but extends the experience for a period of weeks. To anyone who came to the build expecting a stream I do apologize. But, hopefully we will be able to make it up over the next couple of weeks with an experience. And, I definitely invite anyone who is not here today to bring their content. And, if you are a Second Life creator be my guest set up shop, bring your content. If you’re not a creator shoot me an e-mail Adam at MorpheusMedia and I will see about what I can do to help facilitate you getting your content in there.
