It has been almost a year since our last Team Tweet podcast, which was recorded for our final CI 597C class. We were able to reunite in State College last week and record a podcast where we share updates, thoughts, and ideas.  Below is the rundown for the episode as well as links to content of interest we mention in the podcast, but first, here is a picture of us working hard on our podcast:

I have been ignoring this blog, largely because I have been focusing my web 2.0 efforts on Golden Slipper Camp, where I serve as Program Director on a 24/7 basis during the summer.  I have been blogging, podcasting, and twittering for GSC and even bringing campers into the mix.  Check out the fun at the following sites:

Golden Slipper Camp Blog, hosted by Blogger (featuring podcasts as well)

Check them out, leave your feedback, and enjoy the trip =)

Here is Tweet Talk 3, featuring Mike Montalto-Rook, Lis Boyer, Donna DeNoble, and myself (Brandon Rubenstein). We feel like we have hit our stride in terms of dynamics, content, and flow, but we welcome your feedback!

Thoughts on the TLT Symposium will be forthcoming, but first I wanted to share our the next installment of our podcast, Tweet Talk. This episode features our discussion on the Wikipedia entry for Twitter, and our brainstorming for how we can enhance the entry with our own efforts.

In a previous entry I describe a Camp on the Web. I originally intended to simply share a new podcast I had created for Golden Slipper Camp, but went off in another direction. This entry, therefore, is dedicated to the podcast.

The first podcast features myself and Uncle Spoon, the camp’s Evening Activities Specialist, explaining our idea and plan for the podcast. Basically, we hope it helps to contribute to the blossoming online community that has developed, as described in the other post.

For now, enjoy the podcast =)

Hi All,

I shaved Tweet Talk 1 down to 23 minutes, and I added some music tracks that I made up for the intro, transitions, and finale. I also converted it to mp3.

Listen to this new version and enjoy!

I know some people have already seen this link, but there are some subscribers (Hi Sean!) who don’t follow the entire course site.

Here is the first podcast by my group, The Tweets. We begin by discussing Twitter before tackling some of the other, tougher issues and themes of this class. Podcasting seemed to be a very good way to document our group discussions, as all four of us could participate without having to stop to type or write notes for record-keeping. The next half hour was intellectually fruitful, as conversation was able to flow uninhibited. We really made some good progress towards making sense of community, identity, and design — our three themes in the CI 597C Disruptive Technology course!

It is safe to say that the Tweets will be podcasting all of our group discussions in the future. Below is a link to the unedited Tweet Talk 1. Keep an eye out for Tweet Talk 1.1, which will have music and other fun transitions =)
