Podcamp Registration
Today was the opening day for the two-day Podcamp Hawaii. It was a lot of great information, great variety of sessions, and plenty of wonderful people. Here’s just a few of my notes from the day:
Opening blessings by Haunani and ‘Illima Kauka. Followed by two lovely hula songs, danced by Kanoe Miller, and performed by The Casey Olson Trio.

Podcamp Blessing
Chris Heuer (www.chrisheuer.com) – Social media principles: tip — Be human, be personal. Check out: Filtrbox.com
Rob Farrow – Managing Online Identity: tip — chi.mp
Kristie Wells -Building Your Community: tip — socialmediaclub.org

Podcamp swag
Rob Halper – Johnson and Johnson health channel on YouTube: “equity marketing, not a hard ROI”
Dave Erdman – Podcasting Hawaii to Japan: tip — use lots of different media (YouTube, Podcasts, and “theme” web sites) to help Search Engine ranking
Overall, very interesting! I can’t make tomorrow’s session, even though there are some really good ones, including: Matt Mullenweg and Neil Abercrombie. Try to make it if you can: PodcampHawaii.
