How’d It Go?

Amazingly fun. Enthusiastically received. Glitchy but Real. Mission accomplished? Extending the Experience.

Thank you Jeff Pulver and www.Pulver.tv for making this possible. Thanks to everyone who helped by doing, observing or contributing to the mediacast of Startup Weekend Boulder 2. Giant props to Danny Holland for videos like the this:

Boulder Startup Weekend 2 - Day 2 from Danny Holland on Vimeo.

It’s tricky to guess how many (300 likely, possibly 1,000 or more) remote participants we drew, but we got a lot of traction. For last-minute, word-of-mouth coverage of a 2-day event with 80 local participants, I’m damn proud of that. Here’s a roundup of the numbers…

Mediacasters.tv: 1,655 page views from all over the world: US, Canada, Mexico, India, Australia, So. Pacific, Israel, Europe, South & Central America.

@mediacasters: 143 followers and 216 updates

Bloggers Who (Participated in) Covered the Mediacasters.tv Story
We wanted remote participants to meaningfully experience/engage with the event. These posts stand out as incontrovertible proof: that worked.

Eric Litman Visits Startup Weekend

Ironically, after running 4 shows, the 5th probably had the most technical challenges. But we’re incredibly grateful to Eric Litman of WashingtonVC for his time and expertise. It was a lot of fun chatting with you Eric, and you rolled gracefully with the tech glitches.

Live Shows for VC Sunday

pistachio — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 05:12:31 +0000

Can’t wait to talk to Stowe Boyd (2pm EDT) and Eric Litman (6pm EDT) tomorrow about some of the challenges embryonic companies face, to cap off our weekend of live shows on www.pulver.tv through this batty mediacasting experiment.

Also just happened to notice that Jason Calacanis has an interesting new post today about his vision for startup camp. Jason, we’d love to have you on www.pulver.tv to talk about your idea. Please give us a shout.

Love, Pistachio

The Loic and Guy Show

Loic Lemeur and Guy Kawasaki were both extremely generous with their time in joining us today. As all our guests so far have been, they were also tremendously good sports with tech glitches, punk’d pitches and miscellaneous shenanigans.

Thanks Allen Stern for dropping by our show on www.Pulver.tv and for writing about it on your blog. I am a little giddy about this, because my biggest hope with www.mediacasters.tv was to experiment with simple social media tools to make meaningful remote experiences of the live event. So, cool.
