First day of the NME = big success

The first day of the show was great. It kicked off with a very energetic keynote by Gary Vaynerchuk, followed by a bunch of great sessions. Here are some links I’ve grabbed today, for the hosts/shows that presented, as well as products and services they recommended:

Tom Merrit and Veronica Belmont (first session I attended) did a great job discussing how to engage your audience.

The hosts of the Midwest Teen Sex Show (2nd session for me today) did a wonderful job talking about how they produce their show and the amazing success they’ve had in just 12 months.

My final session of the day was hosted by Rox from Beachwalks with Rox. She and her partner did a live demo of how they assemble their shows, of which over 650 have been produced!

Leo Laporte was streaming all afternoon from the Stickam booth, and at various times I saw Amber Macarthur, Alex Lindsay, iJustine, Veronica B, and other leading lights from the new media world near the booth.

Products that got recommended today, in no particular order:

Ping.fm to keep all your social networks updated

Friendfeed to aggregate incoming social network content

Visual Hub for video conversion

Wirecast for software video camera switching a-la the Tricaster

Libsyn, Viddler, Ustream, Metacafe, and Revver for hosting/distributing/streaming your video content

TubeMogul to multi-post your video to the various hosts/streaming video sites listed above

Canon HV20 for a good, inexpensive camera to start doing video with
