San Francisco Podcasting Meetup: Just started with a handful of us in SF to discuss how to move podcasting forward as a medium.
I've seen this movie before in 1977 with personal computers then the a sequel in 1994 with the Web. Now in 2005 it's Media and distribution. Early reviews look great.
Last night I attended the SF Podcasting group meeting and met a great group of SF Podcasters. One was Dave Hodson from MessageCast there..he has a brief writeup on the meeting from his perspective. I agree with Dave on his points. Thanks to Michael Butler "Rock & Roll Geek Show" for organizing it. This reminds me of the early days of the personal computer. Great innovation and great passion. Podcasting and Blogging is part of the New Media Revolution.
It's exciting to see the early stage momentum in podcasting, but what scares me is the possibility of selling out rather than build out a platform. I love to see Eric Rice doing the deals to get paid and educate the mainstream "label" but also we need to ensure that open channel of publishing and broadcast are available to all. What's impressive about podcasting is that now everyone can have a "voice".
I had a great chat with Doug Kaye - Doug runs IT Conversations the most recognized IT podcating show. Doug is a passionate pioneer of leadership in this new open source media model. He is doing it right. He and I also talked about a new startup that I've been working on with some other folks - not yet announced.
Eric Rice was there talking about his deal with Time Warner. Good job Eric. He talked with the group. His main points were: "my deal is exclusive for one band .... my goal is to educate the labels...they (labels) need to get it....it's early on .. and I doesn't know where the Time Warner deal will go.." ..."Odeo is talking about doing something....I'm doing it" he said.
I admire this about Eric. He is doing it. He's walking the talk. The other issues that we brought as a group was the notion of "Pod Safe" broadcasting.. what the hell does this mean..
Jack Herrington (not to be confused with Mike Herrington..inside joke) talked about his upcoming book.. Podcating Hacks. Jack had this cool microphone tied to his glasses recording the entire evening.
Finally a beer cast was setup by SparkCard founder Gregory Narain. It was a ton of fun. I hosted a show with the famous Doug Kaye and Jack Herrington and another podcaster. We had a ton of fun.
Overall I'm impressed with the group in terms of personality, knowledge, and passion. It was a great time. We all agreed that there is a ton of work to do to accelerate podcasting and blogging in general.
