Tags: PodcastingBack and forth the conversation moved around startups and the possibility for these next generation web companies to make it going froward. Michael Arrington posed that 1 in 10 will succeed. Using Digg, Utube My Space and others as the examples of the current successful web companies that are an inspiration for the next generation web companies. The tit for tat conversation never really came to any consensus but everyone seems to have an opinion.
This was very interesting conversation and I am sure it will continue on the blogosphere

Tags: GnomedexRight now at Gnomedex Dave Dederer is speaking to this issue and how we can make this a reality with the distribution of media/music. Corrie from Ioda spoke about and how Eric played a Nat King Cole song and how with the use of Promonet he was able to do this and not violate copyright. This is another in a series of needed solutions that will allow the evolution of media.

” .. join EasyStreet and Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) for an evening of fun, networking and interaction with OPB
radio personalities. Enjoy complimentary beer, wine and hearty
appetizers. To top it all off, you might just learn a thing or two
about podcasting!
Mingle with all three of OPB’s podcasters: April Baer, Allison Frost and Christy George. Ready for your 15 minutes of fame? Alex Williams and of Podcast Hotel will be on hand to record podcasts from OPB supporters.
Don’t know what a podcast is? No problem. Come find out!”
This was quite an interesting night and one of a string of events that Alex and I are working on together where we put our skills in the new media space to work. We interviewed a group of spongers and others at the event with the fundamental question being Why Support Public Broadcast? the responses were interesting and it seem like more and more commercial work is coming about in relation to posdcasting and new media. You can here the podcasts over at Podcast Hotel one of the most interesting factoids to come out of this event goes back to the Podcast on the Floor session Blogging Podcasting and the Media where April Baer gave us this tidbit of info on her OPB podcast “In the first month of OPB’s podcasts, they had 201 visits. In March, there were 35,000.” at the event at Easy Street she revised these numbers to say that they were at around 90,000 downloads.

Tags: Podcast Hotel, WritingSo last night while I am down here in Silicon Valley I was a guest on the Eric Rice show, what a hoot. So first the studio explosion that was in effect when I dropped by was quite extensive. Moving locations and still not completely unpacked it needed a lot of work. So rolling up the sleeves and avoiding the “Monkey” I pitched in and rearranged the place to a state where the show could go on.
Flash forward … out on the patio and Grog calls “A&E you have to check it out the Rock Paper Scissors Championship is on…” thats all it took to get the creative juices flowing and I watched as the show outline unfolded. Flash Forward … so now in the studio with mic’s at the ready but wait we have to set up a live show in Second Life for Multiverse Mondays. Fixing streams and dealing with the logistics to get that going and its getting later and later… So the show begins and a didgeridoo is blown.
When the show gets posted I will put up a link I don’t want to give to much away but we had an impromptu cheer leading session take place as well as multiple recitations of the phrase “Whats the worst part of …” Check it out for all the rich creamy goodness in the middle. Oh a little bird told me some interesting things about that Scoble guy who according to BBC, WSJ and every blog on the web has left Microsoft and is headed to the Valley … stay tuned kids more fun in the blogosphere

Rumors fly as the work leaks out about Robert leaving Microsoft. I do not know any details and I know Robert is a bright guy so he would have good reasons. I have herd him jokingly say how much the check would need to be in a reference to Google hiring him awhile back. Now after a beer or two one may be more in tune with liberalizing ones filters in the discourse of normal conversation so a bit of truth might be gleamed from that comment.
I am sure that Podtech.net made a very lucrative offer to the Scobelizer for his services. Podtech recently “raises $5.5 million to create the “NPR” of podcasting” this could explain a lot in the money department as well as a philosophical one. I will not be in bay area until tomorrow so I will not be able to join the party after Vloggercon this afternoon so I am hopping Robert will be sticking around for a few days after 
A few comments have been made in some of the lists I read and some other blogs about the affect on Roberts readership being effected by this move since he will not be “talking” about Microsoft. I would say that Robert talks about a lot more than Microsoft and by no means will he be loosing his Scobelizerness so he might take a slight hit but over all in the long run it might actually grow his audience “Podcasting” is a huge topic right now and looks like it is only going to keep growing. Indie media companies are IMHO going to gather a lot of momentum over the next few years as the technology advances and the media market continues to splinter off from the main stream.. hell just “Ask a Ninja”
Here are Roberts comments Correcting the Record about Microsoft
Yep I was the one trying to show him around, more about that over here..
Like I have said before it took Eric flooding his SIM in 10 feet of water before I went OH I see. Second Lifer is so immature it thinks the Internet has cooties. We have yet to begin to see only brief glimpses of what something like Second Life can be used for. Don’t limit your thinking to SL think about it in the context of Google Earth, Pixar, Electronic Arts and Second Life all rolled into one. Think about Gilders Teleputer and augmented mobile information that is prototyped in a sandbox environment. Think about being able to walk through, place all the furniture and design you new home in the future without ever paying a contractor a penny to lay the foundation. You know the couch and table really don’t fit that space lets make that room about a foot wider. Consider 3D overlays that display information about your surrounding as you walk through the Experience the Music Project (Yea Gnomedex). I could keep going but I hope I got you thinking…
