Podcasters, Bloggers, Gear, and Technology
NAB 2007 has been over for two weeks. The press continues to reflect on trends and technologies presented this year with new reports every day. The following four part summary is a reflection of my NAB/ BEA conference event experience.
Throughout the convention floor, it was easy to see podcasters in action covering the conference. Their presence up significantly from previous years, when an occasional still photographer would make the rounds. As you would expect, the gear they carried and new tools showcased by vendors interested me the most. HD cameras, hard disks, and solid state audio recorders were seen in use by most podcast production crews. I had a chance to talk briefly with the crew from Veoh.com.
