Dan and I took a trip to the Microsoft NERD Center in Cambridge to attend the iaugural edition of Wordcamp Boston. This was a great opportunity to meet with other WordPress enthusiasts, find out what others are doing, and search for partners to work with for future projects.
We learned a breat deal, met some amazing people and renewed some old friendships. I didn’t have an opportunity to do allot of video work, but I was able to capture three Wordcamp Boston luminaries:
1) Jake Goldman, one of the event organizers, shares the genesis of the first Wordcamp Boston event. Jake is the Director of Client Services at C. Murray Consulting in Providence, RI
2) Karen Rubin of Hubspot, an inbound marketing leader, gave a great presentation on blogging at the conference, and here, she shares a little secret.
3) Ned Watson, of 1080d Consulting, showed how he’s using WordPress for Time Inc. and some of their online titles such as Entertainment Weekly and People. Here, he shares some of his enthusiasm for a new project he’s working on: an online wireframing application, that sounds pretty exciting.
