April 3rd, 2008 — Google, Nashville
Oh my stars has this been a week for little ole’ Nashville. A week ago Google announced that we are now included in their Street View, and today The Tennessean said that Trader Joe’s is coming.
To celebrate this august confluence of events, here are a few street views near-and-dear to my heart.

Today was PodCamp. As I pulled into Cannery Row at 9:00 AM, out of my element but intrigued, I had no idea what to expect. Talks that went over my head? Things only young men are interested in? Boredom? The one thing I wasn’t expecting was for it to be as totally worthwhile as it was. I even liked the talk about beer podcasting — and I loathe beer.
The whole day was jam-packed with inspiring speakers — covering a surprisingly wide range of topics. It wasn’t just technical how-to, though that was covered, and covered well. There were also great talks on Search Engine Optimization, marketing, presentations and even Twitter.
My only criticism is that there were no women presenting. But I wouldn’t be surprised if there aren’t many women podcasters yet in this part of the world. Hopefully there will be more — very soon. And if PodCamp is coming to your part of the world, I’ve got one word for you: go.
Thank you so much to all the great presenters, organizers and supporters, including Emma and Griffin. You wore this web diva out, but boy did you make me happy.

On Saturday, February 9, from 9:00AM to 5:00PM, I’ll be at PodCamp Nashville. If you’re interested and from around here, why not come too? There are still openings if you register soon.
According to their press release, “Participants of PodCamp Nashville are guaranteed to return to their offices revitalized and excited about what New Media has to offer. Students, hobbyists and professionals are encouraged to attend to network and to learn. Experience with blogging or podcasting are not requirements to participate.”
Sounds like a winner to me.
