Our PR and outreach efforts for the first-ever PodCamp WesternMass have gone smashingly so far, and we're expecting a full house at Open Square, the historic retrofitted mill building in Holyoke.
Bloggers are so good at getting the word out. Just look at some of the coverage we've gotten in the blogosphere in the last few days alone:
Localism
Out of the Inkwell
PitchEngine
PF Monaco
Steve's Two Cents
Del Padre blog
Franklin Matters
...and even Ye Olde Mainstream Media has gotten into the act!
Thanks, Reminder Publications!
Already signed up are plenty of local bloggers, vloggers, social medialites, and business owners large and small, who want to learn more about new media and social networking. This guy is coming (he paid his $20, even) and so is this guy, and maybe even this guy .
It's all very exciting. Morriss , Tish , and I had our walk-through of the space yesterday, and it's so amazing. Hard wood floors, wide-open spaces, and plenty of big, blank walls to project Twitterstreams. We're going to provide coffee and snacks throughout the day, and live-blog and Tweet too, of course.
Coming? Don't forget your laptops, cameras, and power strips! And I would be a bad co-coordinator if I didn't mention our sponsors - Veritech Media , GoNomad.com , and Atlas TC.
I'm super-excited; this is an area I'm enthusiastic about but I still have
a LOT to learn. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
