This weekend I’m going to be jaunting off to the Portable Media Expo in Ontario, CA.

For more info on the event: http://www.portablemediaexpo.com/index.html 

It’s going on all weekend but I’ll just be dropping in on Saturday. Here’s a little map the site has showing from where all the Expo Attendees are coming from. It’s spread out pretty well and looks like it should be a fun event. The event is also getting quite a bit of press as well. Podcasting is taking over

I can’t help but think of Donald Sutherland at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers every time I hear the word Pod. But in a sense…podcasting is indeed spreading faster than an alien invasion

Being an Indie Musician starved for promotion, it’s either adapt or be destroyed by the aliens …ok…[my sci-fi mind is taking this into a different direction].

I had a bunch of emails yesterday from people who really aren’t sure what podcasting is…and that’s understandable since it’s relatively new. The easiest way that I can explain it is…

It’s basically like a Audio Journal/Blog…and just as blogging has exploded on the world wide web, so has podcasting. What’s happening now is, the average guy or gal with a microphone and a laptop can create a show and gain fans. If it entertains, people will read, listen and watch(enter, Vodcasting).

"You don’t have to be a star baby, to be in my show"

I’m not sure if my definition explains podcasting enough but if anyone has something more to add to help others understand it, feel free to post.

What’s amazing about the internet is (and I’m sure you’ve all encountered this) if someone is entertained by something, they usually spread the word to their online friends. I think I was sent this "Bush Gone Fishing Katrina" photo at least 10 times from people in all parts of the world. Stuff spreads faster than the Bird Flu online.

With the way technology is changing things, we all could very well be singing "Internet Killed the Video Star" soon.
