Got a great new product? Want to get a lot of people to see it? Get a power user on Flickr to take a picture of it. Scott Beale, also known as Laughing Squid, is a well know photographer. In fact, he may be the second most 'internet famous' photographer (Thomas Hawk is perhaps the most famous). So if you are going to create a product for photographers call up Scott and get him to take a picture of it.
That is exactly what the Yuval Koren, the guy behind Eye-Fi, did. What is Eye-Fi? An SD memory card that will turn your camera into a wi-fi camera – no more USB cable. This is going to be huge! And Yuval, by simply showing it to one of the best know 'internet famous' photographer is getting his product in front of thousands of people who WILL buy the Eye-Fi. Very smart.

Alex has a great post following up on his Barcamp Bangalore experience, replete with shots of many of the attendees. So cool. This is something they started at Barcamp Austin, and I hope it continues. Love seeing the faces of everyone who participates.

Last night I did podcasts with Alex & Jay Fichialos. They had just finished up Barcamp Bangalore. I've put the casts into the Weblogs Worknotes stream, and you can also listen in to the Barcamp Bangalore podcast.

(Two sharp Mikes: Manuel & Arrington)
A great start last night for Third Thursday, the monthly meetup on social media jumpstarted by Mike Manuel, Phil Gomes, Jeremy Pepper & Giovanni Rodriguez. Hated not to make it, but we can live vicariously through Pepper's write up, Valleywag's commentary, Mike A's blog, Mike M's blog, and this mp3. Mike Arrington, of TechCrunch, talks about his goals for the growing network of sites he runs, and how he thinks the new PR should work.
We talked a bit about these same topics in our podcast on Weblogs Worknotes.
