For those of you who missed Jun’s first Vokle broadcast, I went ahead and made a highlight reel of his event.

Startup discussion with Jun and Shane (video………..click click!)

Edutainment would be the perfect word to describe Jun’s event because it’s the perfect mix of education and entertainment. Some topics they covered: building relationships, job security/titles, and decision making……oh yeah, and Shane sings a wonderful song at 8:50!.

Which reminds me…everyone needs a hobby. Whether it’s music, painting, bike riding, hiking, chess, basketball, walking, wine-tasting, canoeing (not-likely), and so on. You need something that will stimulate your creative side. This will help you relieve built up stress, and allow you to come up with creative and practical solutions in your everyday life.

My hobby would be: photography. It’s literally given me a different perspective on life.

What’s yours?

Okay, so that pesky little video streaming quirk seemed to be resolved sooner than we imagined! If some of you still encounter this problem, feel free to email us: edward@vokle.com and we’ll look into it some more. Thanks for your patience everyone, now time to drink Em’s Twinnings Earl Grey. Yum!

Just a note to everyone, we’re undergoing some site maintenance this week, so you may notice some of your events will be missing audio and/or video.  If you encounter this, simply click your heels three times and say “I can’t wait till next week, I can’t wait till next week”.  Since most of you have fun in the events via Text Questions, we’ve decided to keep it running throughout the week.  Just make sure to let your audience know in case you want to continue forward despite the maintenance!

In the mean time tweet at us, email us, or swing by the pad in Santa Monica, where we’ll clicking our heels in repetition with you.  We’ll even invite you in for a nice cup of tea if you swing by.

The whole San Fran experience was a lot of fun, and we got to meet tons of great people. Since I snapped a couple shots during the trip, I decided to upload them for everyone to see. Check them out!

Some killer clouds and trees on the road, and sky.

Edward casually waits for elevator on the 3rd floor. It never came.

The g6. pretty on the outside, but poorly designed on the inside.

Okay….this guys leg made me laugh. that’s all.

Our fantastic hotel. though…this photo makes it look very creepy.

Took this pic from the backseat & without looking in the viewfinder!

We’ll be going back soon. I’ll keep everyone posted! X3

Alicia hosted her very first VOKLE event, and my conclusion is…success! Definitely one of the best, most put-together events we’ve had in a long time. You knew all the material you would cover, you brought in guests, organized, promoted, and even Hosted the event! Congrats Alicia, and everyone else who helped make this an amazing broadcast!

Robert sleeps quietly and comfortably in our San Jose hotel room.

Early morning, everyone is sound asleep. I’m the first to wake up, so I begin brushing my teeth in the bathroom. As I proceed to brush, I hear Edward rummaging around in the living room. As I open the door, he bursts in with his sleeping bag and dives towards the bed. Watch the entire GIF (10 slides) to discover how it all ends!

Day 3 of 7, Saturday night. We decided to take a nice team photo for you guys and the expressions sum up how we’re feeling. (especially after Vator)

First off, I want to take a second and thank everyone that helped us get to the Vator Splash Competition. You guys know who you are. We couldn’t have made it without all your hard work and support. Yesterday was an awesome day because Vokle was in the Top 10 companies that presented in front of 200+ people. Robert went on stage, sipping on his Chardonnay, mildly buzzed, and gave a kickass presentation. Even though we didn’t ‘win’ the competition, we still made a lot of fantastic contacts and received much praise.

If there are more competitions out there, let us know because we’d love to participate. Thanks people!

A couple hour ago, Imogen just accepted her Grammy for Best Engineered Album (Ellipse). It’s great to see a talented soul like Imogen receiving more mainstream recognition that she’s deserved. Anyone who hasn’t listened to Ellipse yet, purchase the album and give it multiple listens. It’s definitely in my Top 10 Albums of 2009 and I would say A-ha is one of the best songs on her album…but I’m a bit biased of course. =)

Penelope Trunk and Ryan Paugh had a really great event yesterday discussing blogging and community building. For those of you who missed it, Check out some highlights below!

Blogging Tips from Penelope Trunk and Ryan Paugh

Ryan actually talks about Vokle’s company blog in the first minute of the video. His advice for our blog was to show people how to have great events, post tips+tricks, and maybe some interviews with Vokle Publishers.  Surprisingly enough, I made a random blog post last week regarding “how to have a successful vokle event’. I suppose we’re on the right track! My mini-resolution for 2010 is to make our blog updated atleast 3-times a week with really exciting and fun posts.

Before I forget, I wanted to thank Jun Loayza from Viralogy for recommending Vokle to Ryan. You’re the man!

I think now’s the perfect time to ask people…what’s your take on our blog so far? Is it fun to read? engaging? what kinds of posts would you like to see? any feedback you guys have will definitely be helpful! <3
