Today I spent some time wandering the aisles of Blogworld. While the exhibitors were definitely slanted in favor of blogging over podcasting there were some interesting booths. I was particularly impressed with Shure’s XLR to USB microphone converter which may ultimately replace my somewhat flakey Blue Icicle in my podcasting rig. I also enjoyed talking to the gang from Technorati about their recent changes and future direction. I hope in the future, the show organizers can get a bit more support from podcasting venders and a bit less from blog aggregators.
It looks like I really missed out on the sessions where some of my favorite bloggers and podcasters talked about their trade. Perhaps next year I will have more time to attend the conference session.
By far though, my favorite part of attending was re-connecting with some of my favorite Mac podcasters for a few meals and a lot of laughs. I’ll have some fun pictures once I get back to MacSparky headquarters.

I’ll be driving to Las Vegas tomorrow to meet up with some podcasting friends at the Blogworld and New Media Expo. I’m also looking forward to checking out the expo hall on Saturday. It will be interesting to see how it all comes together. I will report back.
