I was interested to see if I could both attend and blog about the Web 2.0 Summit at the same time given how I like to network at conferences. I’ve decided that I’m NOT [updated - I forgot the NOT] that kind of blogger :)

I’m having great conversations with various friends, venture capitalists, and other Canadian startups who are here while enjoying some really good sessions.

I’ve seen other bloggers who can real time blog a conference, but between the networking, sessions and lot’s of busy meetings I don’t think I’m going to be blogging the conference.

Instead I’ve taken a different approach. I’m launching a new podcast where I’ll be putting up interviews and conversations with some of the interesting people I meet on my startup travels.

I blame my good friend and resident Montreal podcast pusher Mitch Joel for placing the idea in my head. Mitch produces a great podcast Six Pixels of Separation on internet marketing. While he was showing me his podcast setup and gadgets - I decided to give it a try.

I’m collecting interviews with a bunch of Canadian CEO’s and venture capitalists as well as a few new & old friends which I’ll be publishing soon in a new podcasat.

I suspect I’ll be writing some conference wrap up posts - but if you are trying keep track of the conference as it happens there are a lot of more qualified reporters and bloggers who are doing a great job of covering the event. There is also a wiki for the event.

Details about subscribing to my podcast will show up next week when I figure out how to assemble all the great material I’m collecting.
