Over the weekend (April 21, 2007), I went to something called BootCamp PGH which was a full day of break-out sessions discussing everything from blogging to podcasting to social networking and everything in-between. It was a fantastic experience. I learned a lot about new media and how it relates to my business. Justin Kownacki was the mastermind behind this event. They are having another event some time in August of 2007 and I can't wait for it.
There is so much going on with new media in Pittsburgh and until Saturday, I didn't know that world existed. I'm so excited to have found so many resources that I never knew existed. Groups that get together to discuss blogging, podcasting, you name it. Can't wait to join them!
I'll be honest, I am certainly not a "techie" but I do enjoy learning about new ways to connect to people as well as new ways to promote my business. Until I went to BootCamp, I was never really sure if I was on the right track or not. I learned more about MySpace, about Flickr, about WordPress (oops, probably shouldn't mention that one on here). I also learned to integrate my blog along with my podcasts so that they work in conjunction with one another. This whole Web 2.0 is pretty interesting.
I have a new found energy to really start doing a lot more blogging and podcasting now that I see the social and business power that this new media has. My eyes were opened up to a whole new world this weekend.
