At BlogCamp, Day 2

Sunday · 10 Sep 06 · 10:47 AM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: General

Had a great time at BlogCamp yesterday.  I gave a 20 minute presentation about this site itself (wiki entry here), and came to Tidel Park today as well for Day 2.

  • Award-winning photographer, Sharad Haksar gave a great presentation.  Samples of his work he showed were simply amazing (you can see these pictures on his site as well), and I would definitely recommend you have a look!  He said he uses a 22-megapixel camera for his work and is considering upgrading to a 39-megapixel one!
  • Cricketer Sunil Gavaskar was a special guest at the event, and his talk was really interesting and insightful.
  • Someone pointed out this site — Beggr, about someone begging on a "Web 2.0" compliant website!
  • Lots and lots of laptops here — I checked out my site on Swiftfox/Linux on Akash's laptop, and on Safari/Mac on Jace's laptop (thanks).
  • Live webchat with Robert Scoble via Skype happened in the afternoon, people participated through IRC and Skype virtually as well.

Note: This post was made between 10:47 AM and 2:30 PM.
