Putting aside the crazy notion that pod-vertising will be bigger than blog-vertising by 2010/2011, the podcasting movement looks be gaining momentum given the organizers of PodCampNYC.org have had 850 people register for the event, which happens April 6/7. The conference is happening on a holiday weekend and it’s free so maybe that explains the interest. (Note: PodCamp Toronto, which took place last month, was a huge success)
Then again, podcasting is really the new blogging for many people. By that, I mean a lot of people are already blogging, and looking for next new thing aside from putting a bunch of widgets and Javascript tools all over their sites. This is where podcasting comes into play as bloggers – and others – try to get a handle on what’s involved (a digital recorder and a microphone), how much work you have to do to create one (not much, although good production quality requires some work and skills), and whether it’s any fun (definitely). As someone who’s been podcasting for about a year (Talking Tech), I’m starting to get curious about video-blogs, although I’m not sure the world is ready to see myself, Kevin Restivo and Duncan Stewart in the flesh yet.
