  1. Mitch, another top-notch podcast. Some thoughs/comments:
    1. I agree that it’s time to bring on a kick-butt production afor your intro, preferably with another voice and plenty of cool sound effects 🙂 The one that Joe Jaffe uses on Across the Sound is a great example. I’m working on doing the same for my podcast, as I think it adds another layer of legitimacy to the show. And while you’re at it, you can have said other person to voice your outro as well.
    2. Here’s a suggestion for the Digital Marketing Conference: what about having a podcast series that includes interviews with the various presenters and key-note speakers? Shel Holtz and Neville Hobson did just that before the annual IABC Conference, which took place in Vancouver earlier this month. Here’s the URL: http://blogs.iabc.com/ic/category/podcasts/
    This helps build up some buzz for the event; it gives (potential) attendees a sense of who will be speaking and which sessions they might like to attend (if there are choices); and it’s just a great way to present the power of podcasting for your audience.
    3. Looks like the CaseCampers in Toronto are back at it again. Another session has been scheduled for July 11.
    4. I’m getting itchy to get into Second Life. My name: Zeke Barber. My computer’s video card isn’t very good, though, so I need an upgrade fast!
    Keep the podcasts coming, and I look forward to meeting you next week at CaseCamp Montreal! I think a mashup will be in order.

  2. Another great podcast, but I can’t ever listen to it whlie mowing the lawn because it gets my mind all excited and going wild. Dangerous stuff.
    Julien presenting at CaseCamp? THAT is a cool thing.

  3. Hey Mitch, I actually talked to Michel Leblanc, and it looks like he’ll contact you tomorrow about doing a case study in French instead of me. I’ll still be there though.

  4. Wow! This is EXACTLY what we’ve been talking about in SL lately. This kind of strange networking via avatars. How else could I have met you, Jaffe, and Chapman all in one place? I think we’ll only see this phenomenon grow in the near future and it will be those of us who are willing to take advantage of cutting edge tech like SL who will reap the rewards of the connections that can be made.
    Life (and SL) are just too cool!
