Vloggercue 2005 - "the summer of Vlog"

Yesterday evening was filled with one of those rare experiences when you feel a real sense of community amongst people at the start of something potentially big. I had the opportunity to attend Vloggercue 2005 at a loft apartment in Hoboken, NJ with 30+ attendees (vloggers, technologists, and others). It was a blast. The Vloggercue site has a listing of those who were planning to attend. (See my earlier post about video blogging, aka vlogging, and the Vlog SoHo event held Friday at the Apple store).

Vloggercue was basically a barbecue that brought together all kinds of different people with a shared interest in vlogging. There was food (really great BBQ) and drink, and lots of conversation. There were also similar events taking place in Los Angeles and Minneapolis. Those events were linked to ours using FlashMeeting, which is a very cool online videoconferencing tool. In addition to just meeting and talking, several people gave demonstrations of vlogging tools that they're developing. These included: blip.tv, Linkubator, vlogdir, mefeedia, and FireANT.

Thanks again to Adam Quirk for hosting this amazing event at his apartment and to all of the organizers!
