As mentioned last week, Tucows was proud to sponsor PodCamp Toronto 2008 which took place over the weekend. A few hundred people attended the two-day event, taking in a multitude of sessions ranging from learning how to embed your podcast into Facebook to how to get stuff free from PR people. It was an international event with attendees from both sides of the Canada-U.S. border. Participants who couldn’t make it to Toronto could take in the event via streaming video wherever they were.

It was a great opportunity to hang out with people who are exploring and innovating on the leading edges of multimedia and the Internet. There was a good mix of experience levels - from teens with their own successful audio podcasts, to mainstream media types like Mathew Ingram who writes about technology for Canada’s national newspaper, the Globe and Mail.

On Saturday, I had the pleasure to talk to a room full of people about how we’re exploring some different ways to better communicate with our customers here at Tucows. It was a good chance to both share what we’ve learned over the past year or so, and also to learn from others.

Part of my presentation dealt with how we’re in a learning mode with many of these techniques. We’re trying lots of new things these days, from screencasts to webinars, to audio and video podcasts. The goal is to help get the information you need out to you in the most useful ways.

We’d love to hear your comments and suggestions about what is and what isn’t working. After all, if what we’re doing isn’t working for you, then we need to look at something different and better. Drop us a line in the comments or you can get me via email at jkoole [at] tucows.com
