a huge thanks to pando!

Recently, Pando, a kick ass file sharing app, featured Pedal in their newsletter - rumored to have around 80,000 subscribers!

A few months ago, while I was San Jose for the spring 2007 VON (Video on the Net) conference - I met Yaron (in the men's bathroom, while washing my hands, of all places), the founder of Pando. He asked if I was the person who won 1st place in the Network2.tv contest, I said that I was, and he introduced himself and asked if I had ever heard of Pando. I responded with something like, "psh, yea, Pando rocks".

A few weeks later they wrote me and said they loved the project and that Daniel, their Marketing Associate, had taken a bike trip himself all over Europe. Long story short, here's a screengrab of the newsletter they wrote up.


I have to say it was a very flattering intro and I'm excited about the new traffic and interest it's driving to the site. Subscribe to the Pando newsletter here.

Pedal on JETSET

First off, I am super, super excited to be on this week's JETSET show! Which, I should mention, just signed a licensing and distribution deal with Next New Networks, which is great news for the shows creators: Steve and Zadi. Congrats!

Secondly, I promise that Episode 4 is on it's way very, very soon - it's a bit more elaborate than the first three, and I got a very late start on it. Which is another story for another time.

So in the meantime - please check out JETSET, they did a really great job with the episode (also, if you haven't already, watch their New Orleans episode from last week, it's fantastic.) Enjoy!

Pedal hearts Blip

I bumped into Dina Kaplan, the wonderful co-founder and COO of Blip.tv, at the VON (Video on the Net) conference in San Jose. She glanced down at the admittance badge hanging around my neck and said, "Oh! You're Project Pedal, I just added you to the featured list on Blip". I felt very honored.


I think Blip is one of the best video hosting sites out there... I could go into why but the post would just end up being so long no one would bother reading it.
