That's the only reason our diversity is so strong. I loved the BarCamp I attended, but I went more as a fringe guy. I wasn't smart enough to participate fully. At PodCamp, if you've a message and seek an audience beyond your cubicle, you will probably get something out of the event. Blogging, audio and video podcasting, Second Life, whatever. The tools are just part of the experience. BarCamp gave me (and Christopher Penn) "permission" to start PodCamp, so we're obviously big fans. And it's cool that BusinessWeek covered a bunch of unconferences. That was nice. --Chris Brogan, co-founder of PodCamp.
