I just got back from Podcamp NYC and it was a blast. I met a lot of really great people there. There were both podcasters and other web industry people at the event. I learned a lot more about podcasting and the podcast community. One thing that was interesting was that it seems like a lot of podcasters do podcasting as a hobby and not for a living. Many of the people that I spoke with weren’t monetizing their podcasts except for a few people. I likened it to ham radio hobbyists. Many of the people are passionate about podcasting but haven’t found a way to make money from it.
One pretty cool company that was at the event was StopMeIfYouHeardThis.com. They take videos of people telling their jokes. Check it out!

demo-cra-tive : The ability of we, the people to post, share and inspire others to create for the Internet what others wish to partake of, and also be creative, innovative & inspiring for. A life circle that feeds and nourishes itself.
The Democrative doesn’t live in vacumn, it needs the collective, and in the best case scenerio even promotes the Highest Common Denominator.
The Webreneur is part of the Democrative!
