The Circle Story
There was a great moment at PodCamp Boston, where we got together and talked a bit about what worked and what didn’t work about PodCamp, about what we wanted from our events, and what we thought the state of the industry might be. There was lots more to the story, but I wanted you to see what was captured of it. Essentially, we talked about what we think is important to cover in podcasting and videoblogging, and the overall feel of our event.

Why LOLSaur Really is Cool
At the most recent iteration of PodCamp, we once again saw something new come into play. This time, it was the LOLSaur site. Basically, it’s a site where you post silly, bad grammar “jokes” over pictures of dinosaurs. Basically, a spinoff joke from I can Has Cheezburger. It’s easy to think this isn’t that interesting. Except that it is. Here’s why.
Fast
This went from joke to customized website and content in only a few hours.
Rapid Participation
People self-organized, built the site, and rushed to make it firm quickly.
Learning Experience
This project incorporated a lot of learning in a very brief time.
So, you can crap on it, because it’s a bit silly, or you can think about how fast someone can turn an idea into a project, and a project into a group experiment in learning to be proud of, should you take a moment to consider it.
