This past weekend Podcamp Boston 3 rocked the Joseph B. Martin Conference Center at Harvard Medical School. Thank all of you who attended, those who lent a helping hand, and those who taught others. Thank you to our sponsors who believe in what we do enough to put forth the pledge to help us put [...]

I had a great time, but kinda missed the vibe of manic intensity and vibrancy of PCB2. No scheduled musicians in the hallways, less random camera crews, less huge after parties, no Jeff Pulver influence. It was great and well executed. I'm glad I went and wouldn't trade it for the world. Podcamp Boston 2 was a major turning point in my life in a very serious way, this was just another high point however.
The focus of this year was learning, and they did a very good job of that. It was almost too professional however. Then again that's just my opinion and potentially tainted still from the literal insanity off the wall nature of ROFLCon, that anything else could potentially seem drab in comparison to.

Eric, I don't know about you but I've been reading everyone's reviews of Podcamp since I returned home and I'm seeing a lot of discussion about what people have learned. Not a lot about what they intend to do with it, but I hope that my blog post will remind them that is part of the theme and hopefully the takeaway this year.
I had an interesting conversation about how to make the world better by using our networks together to spread ideas via social networking. I know that using social networking has made a difference in some lives, but I do not believe it's going to affect the change on the world that it so desperately needs. We've had this conversation.
David-
I'm confused, you say the focus was learning, yet, you didn't go there to learn. Podcamp Boston 3 grew up this year. It isn't about the parties and the "Jeff Pulver" influence (and I missed Jeff's presence), Podcamp Boston 3 isn't geek spring break.
Things are changing, social media/podcasting/etc has to change to grow. In my opinion that includes making a difference in a tangible way in your community using the tools that exist.

My take a ways were.. well kinda hard to articulate really. Some of it was like.. how we are all just really people.. something in the humanness of it.. There was something to seeing people new to this space.. trying to help them out a little.. and then on the other hand seeing people who are.. like way beyond me and being able to say "well what do you think focualt would say about the shifting power relationships in emerging channels" and have those kinda crazy conversations.. listen to people who have this stuff down to a science to give you some perspective of what is possible and.. I guess the biggest thing I took away was the inspiration to take things to the next level.. to say "yeah, getting my act together over here is really important."
I think if you wanna save the world you gotta start with your self.. I don't mean that in some.. selfish-e sorta way... more that in just being a vehicle of light in the world is a pretty huge thing... and it's probably one of the more difficult things to achieve in this life.. I guess somewhere in the core of my interest in social media has been an idea of seeking out a mode of living that would facilitate that sorta thing... and I guess that's how I'm trying to do it..
