TechZulu Interview with Rox and Shane

It’s not often that we see Shane in front of the camera! Here’s an interview with the awesome folks at TechZulu, filmed in Las Vegas at the New Media Expo in August. TechZulu “provide(s) interviews from CEO’s for startup companies, Tech Stars of Web 2.0 to spotting Under the Radar companies. Our goal is to provide quality content for technology news and reviews.”

Founder Efren Toascano and Reporter Amanda Coolong grabbed us for some chat on the exhibit floor about our popular internet TV show, Beach Walks with Rox and the event we recently produced here in Honolulu, Podcamp + Wordcamp Hawaii.

Shane and I presented there on how to produce a high quality daily internet tv show.

New Media Expo 2008 Wrap up & Ideas

We are waiting for our plane back home to Hawaii and I’ve been wanting to capture some of my thoughts from the recent New Media Expo in Las Vegas, where Shane and I spoke.

I’ve got three main points, some of which were also mentioned by Mike McCallen. I also discussed this in the pool at the Hilton with Jim Kirks of The Clip Show. With the temp at 105, my brain wanted AC or water to function!

I’d like to get your thoughts on this – pros and cons of the NME. Can we claim it as our podcaster event? If so, why were so many of the key podcasters and the podcast companies missing? How can they make it better? What would you want? Not want?

I think we are at a pivot point and it’s time to discuss this out in the open.

FWIW, Viddler was there in full force and for those of us who were at the show, the connections and business deals were awesome! I loved being interviewed on TWIT, Web Pro World, and Tech Zulu, along with Sunny’s live uStream. Tom Webster’s podcast stats are amazing, and I hope they get increasingly more attention.

New Media Expo: Making a Daily Video Show

Please follow along with us as Shane and I present our session here in Las Vegas. We were chosen as one of 50 out of over 900 applications, and we are thrilled! Alas, we realize not everyone can come to the expo.

You can see our slides full size here.

We will be doing a dual track presentation! Two presenters, one handling right brain one handling left brain, one showing a live production demo while one talks strategy. Here’s the video we hot that morning, edited in the session, and then uploaded. Delays due to poor availability of wifi – a chronic problem when traveling and at tech conferences especially!
