I’m in the session on Community Videoblogging. Chuck Olsen is talking about his experience in launching Minnesota Stories. The content is a hybrid between Chuck’s own productions and community-submitted video.

Here’s a picture of Chuck speaking in this session.

Chuck is making some suggestions about how to expand your network of contacts as a way of growing your community video blog. He’s saying it will happen naturally as people get excited about the blog and refer you to new contacts.

Chuck’s business model: Doesn’t have one at the moment. He used to run Google ads ($75/month).

Dave Winer is here. He’s live-blogging the conference, too. He’s saying there are four T1 lines coming into the building. Makes sense. I’m bypassing the wifi altogether, instead opting for the Verizon WWAN.

Steve Garfield is up next in this session. Here’s Steve.

Steve’s talking about forming a community group to talk about videoblogging. Why couldn’t this happen on campuses?

Andy Plesser from Beet.TV is here. A few minutes before this session started, he was interviewing Robert Scoble. Looking forward to seeing that one. Andy is trying to live-vlog this session from his setup in the balcony.

Carl Weaver is talking about his community vlog Worcester Diaries.

Here’s Carl.

I should mention that this conference is taking place at the Swedish American Hall on Market Street in San Francisco.

Stay tuned for more from Vloggercon’s session on vlogging in education.
