Podcast Expo - Keynote

Sitting in Ballroom C at the Ontario Convention Center - Great setup with Wifi and 5 rows of tables the full width of ballroom for laptop users.

Conference staring to fill up and Tikibar is playing on the large screen monitors.

20 minutes to go to Leo Laportes keynote.

Leo's Keynote has started following an intro from Tim Bourquin (expo founder)

Initial theme is on the Podcast name - Is podcasting the right name? Touting "NetCast"

Thanks to Apple for promoting podcasts but iTunes both the best and the worst thing to happen to Podcasting.

Some words around monetising podcasts and the potential pitfalls. The audience is king - hear hear :-)

Interesting comment about Twit advertising - Dell only pays for the US downloads as they have no model for global advertising - impacts podcasts because we are global.

Leo has finished and now the Battlestar Galactica guy - Ron Moore - a podcasting pioneer!

Humerous guy! Initially the BG podcast was suggested as a stunt by the PR dept. Showed his actual recorder and suggested that he'll donate it the the National Podcasting Museum!

Must subscribe to this guys podcast - he's a natural!

Just realised that Kosso from the Bluggcast had crept in late and sat next to me - small universe :-)

Excellent Keynote - wrapping up with a Q&A - you must download this when avalable.

Off to the next session

Sounds like you're having a ball Don! :D

Yup, but only 5 hours sleep in the last 40 odd hours will certainly take its toll!

And I've gotta be up for a 7am breakfast meeting.

I'm not complaining :-)
