VIDEO: The Vermont 3.0 Innovation Jam

More than 65 exhibitors and hundreds of participants packed the Sheraton Burlington Hotel and Conference Center for the Vermont 3.0 Innovation Jam on October 26, 2009. Here's a video of the event, courtesy of Seven Days videographer, Eva Sollberger.

Seven Days was a sponsor of the event, along with the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Vermont Software Developers' Alliance, the Workforce Investment Board, the Vermont Department of Labor, the Vermont Department of Economic Development and Comcast Business Class.

Microblogging Your Day in 140 Character Installments

I use Twitter. I use Plurk.

One could say I'm a microblogging addict.

Really.

It goes something like this.

I wake up in the morning and I post something pithy to my Twitter and then I jump over to Plurk and post something pithy there (all of this via my Crackberry, of course). In the background via magical internet forces, what I posted in Twitter lands in my Facebook "what am I doing now" status. And then, by the magical forces of FriendFeed, my Plurk ends up on my Facebook wall.

So, in a mere two 140 character posts people know things like: my daughter is being very slow today, that it's a beautiful fall morning in Vermont or that I'm a bit stressed about the economy and am thinking about putting money in my mattress.

Yes, I know it seems a bit odd. Why would anyone care? Why would I want to share that information with people I don't even know?  Very good questions...
