Vloggies Night in San Francisco
The Vloggies first annual videoblog awards night made its debut in San Franscisco. The net paparazzi were out in force. PodTech, along with other videobloggers, has extensive coverage of the night. We will release that content shortly, but here is a short video showing the highlights.
Meanwhile, it was a huge night in for a new generation of media developers and videobloggers — a night to recognize and celebrate the great work of thousands of videobloggers and video developers. PodTech is proud to have put on the show and we’re excited to be developing some new video works and shows soon. We’re having fun and developing great friendships and business partnerships. Congratulations to all the winners and to all the videobloggers.
The night began with a special appearance from Jerry Zucker, who provided a short, funny and inspiring talk about how he, his brother David, and Jim Abrahams started. Kevin Marks captured it on video in the audience and posted it. Jerry compared how he got started (his early days were spent in his family’s basement) to the world of media today. He talks about how, in the beginning, it was about experimenting, playing and having fun, but they faced the additional challenge of getting people to see their stuff — they needed a theater. Today, the Internet makes that step a lot easier. “You have the possibility to take the stuff today and send it around the world… for almost nothing and the equipment is fantastic… This new technology will change the way we view entertainment,” Zucker said. “You are at the beginning of it.”
It was a great evening. Robert Scoble was blogging non-stop the entire night and has great posts here and here. Tom, whom I interviewed on the red couch at the party, has the first post of the night. Here are some amazing photos by Scott Beale of Laughing Squid who captured the event via photoblogging. Rene Bloggett has an indepth post with photos. Beachwalks, who captured three vloggies, has video up on their blog. Thomas Hawk was photowalking the show, too. As usual he has a great set of pics.
Coverage on Techmeme and the blogosphere will no doubt continue, as well.
PodTech would like to highlight the sponsors who contributed to make this event so special. Yahoo Video, Blip.TV, Guba.com, Revver, Webex, Dabble, Pandora, Intel and Café Du Nord.

[…] I was invited to the Vloggies, but due to my travels, I was unable to attend, thankfully, the social media folks are covering the event. The vloggies is a podtech sponsored event, read the wrap up from John Furrier, the CEO of podtech. I can’t see what Robert’s post about from my current location, but the Photos from Thomas Hawk and his extensive collection on Zooomr are amazing. […]

Great event. Thanks for putting it on. Nice that you guys landed Jerry Zucker. His speech was amazing and motivating. Can’t wait to see the new shows coming out from PodTech and Zucker. I’m guessing comedy.

[…] We were thrilled to attend the Vloggies in San Francisco this weekend. The event was hosted by Podtech and Revver proudly joined many other organizations as a sponsor. The evening was a huge success and a great opportunity to recognize artists and media-makers working in this new medium. It was a lot of fun and totally hilarious, and just might have been the most documented night in history. […]

Thank you most gracious hosts!
The event was wonderful, a perfect mix of fun, tongue-in-cheek, and legitimacy. We were honored and flattered to receive three awards, especially best green vlog (viewer’s choice) in the midst of the titan treehugger.com.
Thanks again for your generosity, best to all.
