Confessions of a Social Tools Architect
12 Feb
It’s hard to imagine what it felt like for Adam Curry when Podcasting took off like wild fire. Generating an idea from the ether and seeing others adopt it must be one of the few pleasures that we rarely get the opportunity to experience.
This morning, I had a faint glimpse into just what that could feel like and, well, it’s cool as all heck and still a mystery to me. I came across a link to Beercasting.com from a fellow in Montreal. My first instinct told me that it was no different than the many other international mentions of Beercasting - interest in the concept.
I couldn’t have been more wrong. What I did find, instead, was the first independent Beercast done by someone. The importance to me is that someone called it a Beercast and went out and did it. Here’s the translated quote:
Our first beercast ! Pierre - Nicolas and me recorded our first beercast this evening at the time of the meeting of Island Without Wire . If you are not familiar with the principle , it is a very simple … podcast recorded in first of beer , not badly of beer the whole without any assembly ! Enjoy calisse ! (this was written right away after the beercast , No censorship !)
Do you dare the downloader?
N.B: One tries to beat record of the post with the most hyperlinks (one is a little drunk ok!
Source: Edito.qc.ca, “Beercast @ ISF - 2005-02-09″ (translated English)
I’ll be releasing the Topic Index soon on the site for anyone to participate. Soon after that anyone will have the ability to upload their own Beercasts for publishing.
So, can anyone tell me what he said :)

The translation done by Google is quite crappy. Well anyway we had much doing this. Hope to do some more at the Ile Sans fil meeting ( “Île Sans Fil is a non-profit community group devoted to providing free public wireless internet access to mobile users in public spaces throughout Montreal” ).
Here’s a better translation :
“Here it is, our very first beercast. Pierre-Nicolas and I have just finished recording our first beercast during Ile Sans Fil meeting. If you’re not familiar with the concept, it’s quite simple… drink some beer, some more and then do a podcast. Post it to a blog, without any editing, there you go. Enjoy ! ( This was written right after recording, so yeah we might be wasted ) Dare downloading it ? “
“Enjoy calisse !” Ahahahahahahah! I’ll be sure to make it to the next one.
Very profound stuff indeed. It starts with ramblings about conquering the universe, and then there’s a few minutes of “I’m really drunk” and “We should get more drunk” and “Beer is fun”. It then goes on to some wearing and sounds of people drinking. Then there’s some really geeky talk about Mission Impossible and other spy movies. Then an analysis of the beercasting concept: “We drink beer, we say stupid things, we don’t do any editing and then we put it on the Internet”. A girl comments: “This is genious! It is a great pleasure to be able to contribute to this grand human achievement. And that’s all I have to say about that.”
The beercast was interrupted for foozball. “This was a very casual talk, like a sofa or something”.
