Ben Yoskovitz Co-Founder of Standout Jobs just finished a great presentation titled “Podcasting 101″.
Things Ben hit on with his Podcasting 101 presentation:
- Length doesn’t matter
- Quality needs to be high
- Use music
- Write a script, but keep it an outline
- Keep it in a conversational tone
- Link to others; best blogging practices
- Draw in your audience
Ben is one of the many people here today that I want to talk with for some in depth conversation.
Rodney Rumford of VideoSticky.com is up next with his presentation on Video Trends.
According to his presentation, 80-100k new videos are uploaded daily. Wow. That’s a lot of videos and bandwidth.
Rodney also pointed out that video engages users and creates longer site visits. If you offer video, you offer extended branding and as a valued resource. I agree 100% and will be looking into VideoSticky a lot more as the day goes on.
Side note, I just realized that there’s a wide variety of laptops being used today. I see Dell’s, IBM ThinkPads, Sony VAIO’s, Toshiba and of course a large amount of Apple MacBooks:
Did you see them? I’ve actually counted 7 within 10 feet of me in the conference hall. Yeah. I’m a geek counting laptops.
I’m going to try and jump out of the conference and visit the Art Institute of Chicago as it’s only 12-15 miles down the express way from the hotel.
I’d really like to see my favorite painting “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte”.
There is so much going on today and I’m torn if I should leave for an hour to see my favorite painting today.
Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow morning? Any thoughts on this from people at the conference? Anyone want to take a road trip? If so, comment or find me here at the conference.
