Aviation New Media Meetup

Aviation New Media Meetup from Thirty Thousand Feet Blog by Max Flight

Courtney Miller and I hosted an online gathering of aviation new media types on Sunday, August 10, 2008. Participating were aviation podcasters, bloggers, and social community people who talked about their current online activities and their plans for the future.

While these communities relate to aviation, they really span a variety of purposes and media types. I don’t think there is a lot of overlap between them in terms of content and style – they’ve all got something different to appeal to aviation professionals and enthusiasts.

One thing the creators of these sites did seem to share was a strong passion for aviation and bringing content to others. It’s all about involvement and community, sharing interests and knowledge, and engaging the audience where possible.

You’ll hear the following on the podcast:

Roger Bishop and Mike Souders from the Indy Transponder blog.
Rod Rakic from the myTransponder.com aviation social community.
Harry Love from the Jetrecord site.
Pilot Will and Daveflys from The Pilots Flight PodLog.
Dan Webb from the Dan Webb blog.
Rob Mark from the Jetwhine blog.
Ted Erickson from the AviationBull blog.
Stephen Force from the Airspeed podcast.
Bill Williams from the Student Pilot Cast podcast.
Dr. Todd Curtis from AirSafe.com and the Conversation at AirSafe.com podcasts.
Court Miller and Max Flight from the Airplane Geeks Podcast.

The session was carried live on the TalkShoe service and is available for download now as Episode 10 of the Airplane Geeks Podcast.

Listen, enjoy, be motivated, and join in. Max
