Mainly pics of the lead organizers, Chris Penn and Chris Brogan. Also met Suki and Lisa earlier in the day. Both are doing really cool things in social media. Lisa is an alternative ed teacher from Erie, PA doing really cool stuff with at risk kids. You can follow Suki at http://twitter.com/sukifuller. Good times all around.

So had a good time with the first day at PodCamp Boston. I need to decide if I’m going to go to the partyfor tonight at 7. I’m a little beat. Below are a few snapshot from the day.

Have a meal with some friends…

Engage Challenge your Audience Listen to what.s going on; find the conversations Vendor Relationship Management vs CRM; customers have choice. Who’s doing it well? Zappos is doing well. Big brands aren’t doing that well. Not going to happen at Ford or GM. Comcast Cares comes up a lot, got to look at what they are getting into. Greg Verdino, Doug Haslam, Adam Broitman, and Philip Robertson on the panel.

I’m listening to Steve Robbins at my first session for the conference. Got up a little late because I went to see a late show of “Wanted”. Anyway, Steve is talking about grabbing hold and building a faithful audience. I’ll be taking crappy photos all day about the sessions I ‘m in. I’m not really here to promote more than just to be present and socialize. Its summer time and I’m here to have fun.

• The contractors finished installing the windows before noon. Very fast and they look great; that much closer to a warm winter. #
• Cleaning up the distributed widget code. Caching, link correctness, tracking, CSS, vote calc verification. Almost done. #
