Be the Voice

How to "Web 2.0-Enable"
your Live Event

By David Spark, Founder of Spark Media Solutions, LLC

If you’re recording the presenters at your event, it’s an extremely easy move to take the sound and video files and make them available for download and streaming on your blog.

For audio files, trim them, and then upload them to an audio files directory and use this free tool to create an audio player for streaming audio on your blog. It’s the same tool I use to stream audio on my podcast/blog, the Spark Minute. In addition, create a podcast feed for all these audio files so those who want to capture everything at the event can simply subscribe to the feed. For WordPress users, I highly recommend the podcasting plug-in, PodPress.

For video files, use the video sharing site Fora.TV. This site is dedicated to talking-head videos and they appear to have no length limitations. If you have eight one-hour sessions, you could upload all to Fora.TV. Fora.TV, like most video sharing sites such as YouTube, makes it possible for you to embed the hosted video on your Web site or blog.
