I will be headed to Podcamp Boston 3 next week to speak with some real social media rockstars. I have to admit, I am pretty excited about sharing ideas with Doug Haslam, Philip Robertson and the Co-Founder of the Bald Marketing Rockstars (will this joke ever get old…or funny for that matter ) Sir Greg Verdino himself!

crayon, Greg’s agency has put together a very cool program with oovoo that will help bring 20 students to Podcamp. Although vague, I do remember what money was like in college, so this program is very cool!

Finally, I am thinking of having a Lively meetup during Podcamp. Everyone is try to make sense of what Google is up to with Lively, and what better way to explore the platform than to have a little meetup within a meetup to play around with the platform and have a discussion about it.

What does everyone think; lunch, laptops and Lively?

Shoot me an email or comment here if you are interested. Even if you cannot be at Podcamp you can still take part, as it is a virtual world.

Anyhow, I was alerted to Lively by Brad via Read Write Web and had no choice but to jump right in. Rather than writing a lengthy analysis (you can go to RWW for that) I decided to document my initial travels through the virtual world as I attempt to set up shop for A Media Circus.

For now I am only going to make a few high level points, but you can be sure you will hear more about this from me in the future!

• Think the distributed web for virtual worlds
  • Why contain a virtual world when you can make it embeddable?
• Remember Sketch Up?
  • How many retailers out there are ready for this?
• This is not one world, but the web is one web and all of it is virtual.

That is all of the commentary that I am offering right now. I hope that you enjoy my PPT and would love for everyone to stop by A Virtual Media Circus. Look over to you left in the sidebar, just click on it and you are in!
