Adam Comes Aboard, Podcast Hotel & Web 2.0
Howdy. I’m Adam Metz.
I’m the newest addition to the LaunchSquad staff, and what a perfect week to join the team. I’ll be handling a number of new initiatives at LaunchSquad and consulting with clients on social media, including projects that involve blogging, vodcasting, podcasting and viral campaigns. With apologies to famed rockumentarian Marty DiBergi: enough of my yappin’! This a crazy week in San Francisco.
The O’Reilly Web 2.0 Expo began Sunday night at The Moscone Center, right down the street from LaunchSquad, and today is arguably the coolest day of the conference. Google CEO Eric Schmidt is being interviewed by John Battelle, Web 2.0 conference Program Chair, at 11:30 a.m.
I should be over there this afternoon and tomorrow, along with Jeremy Frank from Launchsquad. You can catch me on Twitter at the conference (LaunchSquadAdam) or on IM (ajmetz [at] mac.com).
This weekend (April 20 and 21), an amazing event comes to San Francisco’s Swedish American Hall – Podcast Hotel. I’m really looking forward to this conference/unconference, because it contains some of the coolest talks of the season, like the Friday afternoon roundtable, “How do Podcasting and DIY Media Mix With Music Marketing Today?”, which features Corey Denis from IODA and Kevin Seal from Pandora - two of the most innovative companies in new media today. (Full disclosure: IODA is the digital distributor for my tiny record label, Baum Records) The Saturday-morning keynotes from Jonathan Cobb (Kiptronic) and Robert Scoble (PodTech, ex-Microsoft) should also be awesome.
Dance dance revolution: the opening night party Thursday night (7 p.m.) at Madrone Lounge should be pretty insane, and it features Lucaso from The Sound Culture Podcast on the decks. I hear he goes to eleven.
See you on Twitter, at the conferences, or on the dance floor.
