I’m just in from Podcamp Ireland and I have to say it was an amazing event, unfortunately I couldn’t attend every talk and at the moment I can’t watch the others on video due to my Internet being down and being on a slow, unsecured 11.0 Mps network..

However what I did get to see was:

Podcasting and the arts by David Maybury from Poetry IrelandI really enjoyed this session and learnt not only about Podcasting in the arts, but how to build and grow a community. I thought it was interesting too that teachers had a problem with Poetry Ireland being on Bebo and were against it. Poetry in Ireland removed their Bebo account after hearing that off one or two people but I find it interesting that teachers would see it as a bad thing!

Audio Production by Conn O’MuinneachainBrilliant presentation by Conor, showing not only how to fix sound waves when they are too low in Audacity, but the power of Levelator, how to record properly and a recommendation of a microphone! Excellently put together!

Getting Granny Podcasting by Granny MarI thought this was an amazing session, it not only showed how simply one can start off Podcasting, but without a doubt convinced me to subscribe to Granny Mar’s Podcast!

Building communities and the future of social media Panel DiscussionThis was by far my favorite talk of the day! I thought people’s theory’s/guess’s on what would happen in the future did not only make me think, but where interesting! I especially loved the suggestion of the President of America making a guest post on the President of Ireland’s blog!

What do you do when? by Elly ParkerThis wasn’t an actual official talk, though Elly did bring it up at the very end just as a quick thing, but I did get the chance to talk to her about this. Basically the questions are, if your spouse dies can you get into their blog, hosting, email etc.? And also, what if you get a divorce, what information could your spouse have on you that they could put online to blacken your name! I’ve probably done a horrible job on trying to explain that now, but I’m sure if Elly wants to expand further she will do!

Overall:Podcamp Ireland was a great event, in my mind a huge success. Hopefully there will be another one not so far away in which more people will attend!

Update: It seems Mr. Deek Deekster managed to take a picture with me in it! Yes as hard as I tried I was captured!
