New Media Cruise / Podcamp@Sea from NYC the day after #TBEX '10



I ended up scheduling the New Media Cruise / Podcamp@Sea to leave New York the day after TBEX to make it easier for anyone from the show who wants to come and learn more about new media (audio and video content) in more depth. This should be a wonderful networking opportunity as well. It is a 5 day unconference on New Media aboard a cruise ship to Halifax and Saint Johns.…

Hi Chris, I just stumbled your post. I would be happy to do a guest post for my hometown. I am actually heading home for two weeks and it will give me the perfect opportunity to write about it. I'll send one in once I get home next week. Here's my url in case you want to see my style: http://www.toddswanderings.com

cheers,

Hello, Chris!

I like your site and would like to offer a couple of things:
1) exchange links (my blog is TravelPro55.blogspot.com)
2) I'd be pleased to join your show to talk about my recent trip to Venice, Lake Como, Zurich and Salzburg, and/or my upcoming trip to Amsterdam.

Let me know!

Regards,
Carl

Hey Chris!

Thanks for the opportunity to do a guest post regarding Bali in your website.

FYI, I'm a pure Balinese, born and bred in Bali. I was also crowned Miss Bali 2003 and Miss Indonesia Tourism 2004.

Hey Chris, if I end up missing your meetup, come to mine the next day! I really want to meet you.

I just wanted to invite you to a little meetup I'm organizing at noon in Wicker Park Sat., July 25.

We'll eat some delicious food, soak up the rays and listen to the bands for some general chilling out before the conference.

Please RSVP on Facebook

Hey, Chris. Great site and superb podcasting! Say, how'd you like to be on the other end for a change? Maybe you'll consider being the interviewee? Would be great to do a phoner with you on our travel talk radio show. If curious, email Dan at thetripchicks@mindspring.com for details. Thanks and all the best for this new year.

Chris, I had facebook connect up and working, but they must have changed something - the sociable folk, because it fails now and isn't working. So I removed it. Google's app on the other hand is very tidy.
