Bryght has participated at every single Podcast Hotel and Podcast Hotel 3 is no exception: Bryght President Kris Krug will be moderating a panel at Podcast Hotel 3 San Francisco entitled "How do Podcasting and DIY Media Mix With Music Marketing Today?". Look for him at the conference!

Here's a description of the Podcast Hotel from the Podcast Hotel 3 San Francisco website:

Inspired by Kevin Marks' videos at BloggerCon IV (e.g. Lisa Williams' emotional life session), I took a whole bunch of videos using my 6 year old Canon Elura with the tape taken out (so the camera wouldn't auto shut off) connected to my Powerbook using a Firewire cable using MPEG 4 320x200 15fps with QuickTime Broadcaster recording to my hard disk. Would I do it again? Absolutely! The only thing that was really bad was the audio quality.

Here's what I would do next time:

• Bring my own tripod (I had to borrow one!)
• Fix the audio somehow (only record mono? turn down the gain? attach an external microphone (but then how would I get the whole room? I will definitely experiment beforehand to figure out works best.)
• Monitor every recording. I had a few useless videos because I forgot to record the correct audio channel!

Finally my favourite videos:

• Boris module walkthrough
• Boris' core module explanations (Part 1 and Part 2)

The very cool Robert Ouimet and I are presenting on EverythingCasting tomorrow at Vidfest at 2:40p.m. at the Dockside pub (it's a reprise and expansion of our VFS DIY podcasting presentation earlier in the year).

What is EverythingCasting? It's a term I stole from my friend Eric Rice (with his permission of course) to encompass promoting yourself, your company, your passion, etc. by putting stuff online in the global online two way web (what some people call 'Web 2.0') very cheaply (e.g. photo blogging with flickr, free blog at Wordpress.com, free podcasting with odeo and free videoblogging with YouTube.com or blip.tv all tied together with Feedburner to make a free online media 'EverythingCasting' presence. At the very least, you should be listening to the two way web whether or not you actively participate!

Why do this? Self promotion and self expression (and to know when people are praising and panning you!). Want to take it to the next level and pay for better service using your own domain name for example? Show up and we'll show you how! Questions and feedback encouraged. We hope to keep this lively and dynamic. See you tomorrow at Granville Island.
