Register for PodCampCT on Eventbrite!  me: I'll be there to welcome you, will you join us?


And as a bonus today, if you are going to or can be in the New Haven Connecticut area on Saturday, October 16th, join us for PodCamp CT. A new event in the podcamp series. This is likely to bring together a good bunch of folks to explore all kinds of topics in the social media space. There will be positions taken for and against something or other. Consider that there is a real learning opportunity in between the extremes. Approach it as not an 'either or' situation, maybe it could be 'and or'. Consider that there is goodness in the 'in between' play more like the relationship of yin and yang.
