In my case (= the things I recorded during the conference) it is more the very usual flu thing which knocks me out ;( But after christmas I do have some free days which will be filled with a lot of podcasting! :))
As Loic has written that I will do a during podcasting (which I won't so much),, some people come here for the links. So let me collect what I have found / got mailed to, so the visitors are able to find them.
soon (when I am back from London): some recordings from the days
new: Rodrigo from the VC panel shows how the view from the stage was (via)
all sessions are supposed to go up on vpod.tv later this week
Some speakers I did not manage to get on Skype - be it that they never responded, or timing was bad or we could not get together due to different reasons. Which is why I want to do a post conference podcast and would like you as participants to be on as well. :o) Shoot me an email and we will make something work!
On the conference you will be able to get hold of me through IRC under _neezee or through email. As Skype is a P2P application, I will not be running that at the conference. :)
Jian Ni is Senior Business Development Manager for the Nokia Lifeblog and will be speaking on the panel Podcasting, Photo & Video Blogging.
We talk about:
Nokia has been changing from being just a mobile phone company to the convergence age
they don't call it phones anymore - voice only is history
easy access to digital is key to attract people to try
mission should be: enjoy without hazzle - we'll take care of the rest
usage of mobile phones in Europe, Asia and the US
why a mobile is a primary phone in Europe but not in the US
flatrate is the direction to go to encourage business opportunities
what he would likes to know: why are normal people using blogs and what can encourage them to use it more? Who is interested in using mobile applications?
how is mobile usage and business through it in Asia
he promised to bring gadgets :)
how the quality of the video is already up par with camcorders
Just wanted to inform you that I have still some more podcast in the pipe which will go online later this evening / night and include some very interesting names - in the meantime have fun discovering the other interviews.
I want to podcast from Paris a bit, but would also like to include links to other podcasters from there. When i link to their mp3 file, you would get them downloaded as well - it would be nice to get some feedback on whether this is wanted or not? You can always check the coverage page on the wiki on that.
Marcel Reichart definitely represents mainstream media: Hubert Burda Media. He will be speaking at the panel "Citizen Journalism and mainstream media"
We talk about why they are curious about blogging, possible cross promotion with for example print, established media brands meet new media, and old print titles get fresh community input.
Martin Varsavsky is not only a Sponsor of Les Blogs and speaks on the panel "How is blogging affecting corporations?", but has a very intriguing product: FON.
Kevin Anderson is working for BBC World Service and will be on the panel for "How blogs influence politics?".
He tells us about his engagement in the US elections, and how blogs are indeed influencing politics. I especially liked the term "distributed, investigative journalism".
Elizabeth Albrycht is not only a public relations professional, but she also co-founded of the New Communications Forum and a founding advisory board member and chair of the research and publications committee of the Society for New Communications Research, a new think tank for the advanced study of new communications tools.
At Les Blogs she will be moderating the RSS panel, and in this podcast we talk about what this new think tank can provide in regard of studies and white papers to help understand the impact of these new tools. And congratulations for her joining the Corante Marketing Web Hub!
Philippe Borremans is Public Relation Manager for IBM Belgium & Luxembourg and will be talking on the "How is blogging affecting corporations?" panel.
It is an interesting view into an international company and how modern technology can be integrated into those, specifically in PR. He talks about why blogging as well as podcasting have a huge effect on IBM (including having policies for both), why common sense and trust are important, and how he is practicing "Real PR".
Ben Hammersley was my first guest on my Reboot podcasts this year, and his presentation was not only great - but challenging for our minds. The different people I have talked to afterwards, this was the presentation many have said to be the one with the longest lasting effect.
It is my pleasure to bring him "back" and talk with him about how his topic has evolved. Because in this new society, we not only want to express ourselves differently, but also we participate for example through podcasting in conferences, so speakers cannot hold one and the same speech several times.
His keynote for Les Blogs 2.0 is titled "Eight ideas that will really revolutionize the 21st century (and why blogging isn't one of them)" and I encourage you to go listen to it - because hearing him afterwards on some recordings is only half the fun. For more information, read his speaker bio or visit his blog.
Chairman and co-founder of Pubsub, Salim Ismail is panelist on "Tracking/Listening to the Online World" and adds to what Marc Canter talked about in the last podcast - structured data and what this means for our life.
Topics he and I are talking about are for example
looking into the past and using a matching engine for new events
the first decade: "messaging", the second: "request and respond", the third: "publish and subscribe"
structured blogging and new tools for this
the feedmash
Pubsub tracks Blogs, Usenet groups, airport delays, stock filings and - an XML-based earthquake system
information should be available when a user needs them - and if they need them very quick, there is a business waiting
what idea started Pubsub - and why bloggers make a great load test
Who'd thought that Marc Canter not only talks future but has German Opera at hand when you talk to him? But perhaps this is also part of "How to socialize in the year 2055"?
I can tell you, I had a lot to laugh during this interview. We talk for example about
digital lifestyle, structured blogging, microcontent, microformats
meet space and how to meet women (and jobs) online
about not looking in content, but using open standards - and have better services on top
Book-author Joël de Rosnay will speak on the panel "Citizen Journalism and mainstream media".
He and I talk about "old people", the success of Minitel in France, why he sometimes likes websites better than blogs, why he wants to talk to a machine, and why he would like to meet more of the 'younger' people.
Dana VanDen Heuvel's interview has gotten a bit longer than the others, but this is also due to the fact that it was one of the first I recorded. As everything around RSS is very interesting to me, I naturally was hooked on listening to him. :)
Skema is in the market for "easy publishing of audio/video" for their customer, with a special focus on easy to use and providing better meta data.
I interview founder Olivier Dufour who will be on the session for Podcasting, Photo & Video Blogging about this interesting way of using modern technology and would hope more companies would make it as easy to use.
We talk about how easy it has gotten to start a business, and which kind of interests VCs have when they look at a business. For the Panel, Jeff wants a lively conversation with ideas and concepts brought in from the audience, and he and the panel will comment if these are "good, bad or ugly". He promises it to be a lot of fun - so prepare your ideas! :)
Steve Olechowski is co-founder and COO of Feedburner, and will be talking on the RSS panel of Les Blogs.
We talk about how Feedburner listens to their publishers, the helpful introduction of iTunes support and why so many podcasters and blog owners use feedburner. Additionally you can read his speaker info or visit his his blog.
Edu-Blogger Ewan McIntosh about getting blogs, podcasts and wikis into Scottish education system, fears of teachers and chances for everyone else. Warning: Strong Scottish accent. ;)
This interview is with Roy Lindemann of the company Readspeaker who provides you with a way to 'print your audio'. Roy will be speaking at the podcasting / videocasting panel. We talk about where to use a service like Readspeaker and why it is not at all just about accessibility.
I am very happy to have Shel and Robert on for the first edition of the Lesblogs 2.0 podcast. We talk about what they expect of Paris and Lesblogs, as well as about their new book Naked Conversations. Some links for you:
For the next month, this site will contain mainly publishing around the pre conference podcast for Les Blogs 2.0; after that it will be the place where I talk about all things new media, be it blogs, podcasts or other things to follow.
Pre conference podcasts are fun (except for the long name), and this is my third this year. I started doing this with "preboot", the precon for reboot 7 in Copenhagen and continued it with a podcast for the Podcastcon UK.
Now, with the upcoming Les Blogs 2.0, you will get one too. This post will be the collecting post where I will list all of the interviews.
