Highlights from Day 1 of the Portable Media Expo
I wanted to post this last night, but the internet connection at my hotel was at a crrrrawwwwwwl.
Here are the highlights from Day 1 of the Portable Media Expo:
- Libsyn was at the expo prom yesterday to introduce their new Libsyn Lovers service
- Talked to the girls from IODA, a very cool service that provides lots of music that is licensed to be freely used on your podcast. They have some very cool small labels on their roster.
- I had lunch with Michael Carrino of the Digital MediaCast Experiment and the elusive Michael H–philanthropist, benefactor and producer of podcasts (he flew a handful of well-known podcasters out at his expense).
- Chatted with Audible about their new WordCast service that helps you track your stats and make money with your podcast.
- Watched Brother Love plant a wet kiss on Soccer Girl’s lips “on the air” at the Podcast Pickle booth
- Spoke to Joe Hiyashi of Yahoo about the “double-listing” issue in the Yahoo Podcast directory. He said a solution is in the works and was very attentive to my input.
- Found some very intriguing new podcasting tools that are coming down the pipeline from Paramangus.”
- Heard some great keynote speeches. More details are in the podcasts below.”
Stay tuned for more updates all weekend long “almost live” from the Portable Media Expo.
