If you are reading this and you did NOT attend the 2nd Annual PODCAMP AZ held at the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe, Arizona, you need to RUN, don't walk, to this link: http://reg.podcampaz.org/and sign up for the 2009 conference. I could sit here and blog for literally hours about how incredibly AWESOME this year's Podcamp was, but I have a feeling a lot of other people are doing it already. It was also my first experience being at a conference that used a twitter hashtag (ok, so I'm a noob as far as that's concerned) but it was a very useful way to stay on top of what the latest breaking news was at the camp, such as who won the raffle, where the afterparties would be, and of course the occasional 140 character-or-less mini-reviews of the sessions (which seemed to all be positive). I have to say I did not sit through a bad session the entire conference; add to that free vitamin water, lots of friendly, helpful and approachable people, and sunny, dry 88 degree weather in November, you've got one hell of a fantastic weekend for a social media geek like me. It was not only informative but exceptionally inspiring...now, if you'll excuse me, I've got podcasts to create!

(sort of x-posted from my company's new blog:) We did it! We have officially moved the Olive Street Films Blog from our former wordpress site to Posterous, thanks to lots of encouragement from Garry and other posterous peeps (and wordpress's tyranny). We are very happy to be there, and hey wordpress, don't let the door hit you on the a** on the way out!
