Blogstring will be representing full force at podcamp boston this coming weekend (meaning Sarah and I will both be there, but it sounds better when I refer to "blogstring"). I will be there as a kind of split personality, as I will be wearing the blogger hat (not literally, unless I can find a hat that just says blogger. in that case, I’d definitely be wearing that), and the matchmine hat, as matchmine is a sponsor.

Also, I’ll be running a panel discussion on Sunday at 1:30-2:15 entitled "Discovery- How people find blogs, podcasts, and video and what that means to you." I have a couple of panelists ready to go, but I’m hoping to find some more. So if you’re interested in participating in the panel, please let me know via email (nathan dot burke at blogstring dot com). Here’s what I’m hoping for:

Since podcamp is mostly aimed at helping content producers learn how to better produce, distribute, and promote their content, I wanted a panel on how consumers of UGC find the things they watch. How do people find the podcasts they end up subscribing to? With the millions of YouTube videos and blogs out there, how do you find your favorites? And on the flipside: as a content producer, how can you best leverage the different distribution networks, directories, and search engines to promote your content to people that would love your stuff?

I’d love to have representatives from both sides of the same coin: representatives of companies that help people find stuff (examples: YouTube, Odeo, Podcast.com, BlogTalkRadio, Blogged, Technorati, Revver, etc), and content producers that have found innovative ways to get their offering out there.

So again, please contact me if you’re interested, and definitely stop by and say hi.
