I've been working hard for two days (actually three, the next day there was still a lot of uploading and blogging to do) to blog/vlog part of the EUFORIC/CONCORD meeting in Brussels. The idea behind blogging/vlogging the event was to make sure that other members or interested persons who can not make it to the event for whatever reason, can also engage with what happened and what was discussed, and be part of it or learn from it. This is a group that are for the majority not yet 'web2.0' users, so it would also be a way of showing what you can do with the tools. By the way, is a blog which combines 'normal' blogposts with 'vlogposts' a bvlog or a vblog? Anyhow you can see the result here.

Wishing you were able to come to the San Francisco Net Tuesday last month and hear about vlogging and digital storytelling for nonprofits? No problem. Now you can listen to an interview with Eddie Codel and Irina Slutsky, the creators of Geek Entertainment TV, and with Amy Hill, Community Projects Director of the Center for Digital Storytelling, as well as a recording of Amy's presentation, on the NetSquared podcast.  Big thanks to David Collin, our Net Tuesday podcaster, for recording the interviews and presentation, and to The Hat Factory for hosting the event in their awesome space.

Last night was the San Francisco Net Tuesday at the Hat Factory, a very cool "community office space for geeks and media hackers." Eddie Codel of Geek Entertainment TV and Schlomo Rabinowitz spoke first about vlogging.
