Internet Tech Boston

Earlier this month, I attended SummerMash Boston with a few folks from PermissionTV. The folks at Stickam were holding interviews with attendees and streaming live on Mashable. Well, they’ve finally gotten through the backlog and have posted the recorded sessions on their site. Below is the discussion that I and Craig Daniel, my cohort in the PTV engineering team, had regarding our favorite Video 2.0 company – PermissionTV. I  think that the PermissionTV video player is better than Stickam’s, but I guess I’m just a “company man.” What do you think?

I and a contingent of PermissionTV rabble-rousers attended Mashable.com’s SummerMash Boston event. We wanted to meet some folks and maybe spread the world on what our company has been up to. Here’s what the $21 ticket got us:

1. A live, streaming interview of us discussing PTV, that was shown on the Mashable.com homepage during the event.
2. Some crazy photos of the PermissionTV Team with Pete Cashmore, CEO of Mashable, and another one here.
3. An intro to Chris Brogan, local Social Media hero who’s now following PermissionTV.
4. An intro to Adam Ostrow, Mashable Editor in Chief, who told us the secret to getting covered in Mashable – “Have an interesting story to tell, that’s not being covered anywhere else.” Eureka!
5. 5 new followers of PermissionTV.
6. Coverage from Marcel Moreau (aka Combusting Boy) at Summermash Boston 2008 Roundup.
7. Free food and two free drink tickets. w00t!
8. A dancing Owl
9. The most ridiculous picture of the PermissionTV Crew known to man.
10. Best Job Title of the Evening – Saul Colt, Head of Magic at FreshBooks.

All in all – it was a good event, I’d say! I met a lot of interesting people and had good fun along the way. For anyone else who was at the event, I’d love for you to share stories and links to pics in the comments below!

Update: Looks like the owner of the Flickr stream turned their pictures private, so some links above might not work properly. You can see all the fun pics here.
