Tech Camp Ireland talk

Well the Tech Camp Ireland meet-up is over and it was a great day. Kudos to Piaras and Ed for organising it. Some of the interesting talks that I attended were given by Darren Barefoot on (un)marketing and Digital Rights Ireland on our lack of digital rights in Ireland (think mandatory 3 year data retention, DRM, mobile phone tracking etc.)!

My own talk was titled “Increasing traffic: How to Promote your blog / web business” and a pdf copy is available for download here.

My talk was also recorded by Gavin Byrne of NearFM (the first radio station in Ireland to PodCast!) to be PodCast so when I get an uri for that I will update this post with those details.

Interesting observation from Tech Camp – I counted 8 laptops – 5 of which were macs. If Apple has only 5% of the market, how does that work?

The podCast of my talk is now available here

  1. I have noticed the mac thing at conferances like this before. What I have also noticed, is that the majority of the other laptops tend to be thinkpads. Its probably down to who the attendees are, a self selecting group on technology enthusiasts , who as a result really care about their hardware. The macs attract about half, and the rest go for a high quality pc laptop (and the thinkpads really are great, and very linux compatible.

    TechCamp is hardly an accurate representation of average computer users 🙂

  3. Liam and Fred,

    thanks very much for the kind words – if you think it was a useful presentation and would be of benefit to others, you might tell more people or link to it from your site.

    Cheers,

    Tom.
