Without further ado, Pixelated: Play

Here’s Austin Hill from Akoha presenting at TechCrunch50:

What makes this idea cool is that anyone can mash anything into a theme and build a conference of ideas around it. Not the same as a face-to-face event, but this took me about 40 minutes of searching to find hours of great information that I could curate into my own project. Know who’s believed in this forever? Steve Rosenbaum at Magnify. He pioneered the idea of video curation as a creative effort a few years back, and is still going strong.

What’s YOUR Pixelated conference going to be about?

Now, I’m going to steal it and mix it up a bit more, and YOU can help.

The Pixelated Blog Conference Series

Here are the steps:

1. Decide on a theme
2. Find videos from YouTube, Blip.tv, Magnify.net, Google Video, whereever
3. Write a blog post and call it Pixelated- (and then your topic)
4. Insert the videos as if they’re your speakers at the event
5. Tag the post “pixelated” and also “conference”
6. Link to http://www.twistimage.com/blog (as homage to Mitch)
7. Spread the word, and we’ll all come “attend” your conference

I think it’d be tons of fun. How about you?
