# Where I catch up on WhereCamp PDX

Last weekend, Portland played host to all sorts of geolocation goodness at [WhereCamp PDX](http://www.wherecamppdx.org/ "WhereCamp PDX"). And proud as I was to sponsor this unique event, I was unable to attend.

What to do? Read the blog posts about the event, of course! And since I’m tracking down those posts, anyway, I thought it might be nice to share them with you, gentle reader.

Let’s get going, shall we?

- **[WhereCamp PDX Roundup](http://theappslab.com/2008/10/20/wherecamp-pdx-roundup/ "WhereCamp PDX Roundup")**
  “As you can probably guess, WhereCamp focuses on geo-geeking. It began in 2007 as a way to extend and build on conversations and topics presented at O’Reilly’s [Where 2.0](http://en.oreilly.com/where2009/) conference.”

  “On the final day of WhereCamp, it was time for location-based games. After a late night of geohacking, several WhereCampers returned early to play [PacManhattan](http://www.pacmanhattan.com/), where city streets become the game board.”
- **[Oh my gosh, it’s like being immersed in the brochure online!](http://sidestreet-startup.blogspot.com/2008/10/oh-my-gosh-its-like-being-immersed-in.html)**
  “So the conversation started off all over the board: discussing whether Google was a brand-neutral service or whether or not it over-shadowed the brand; why anyone would want to push branded content to the web; the cost-benefit analysis of any custom solution (including Google or Flash); the perceived need to require Geo-spatial accuracy and so on.”

  “These are notes from the WhereCamp Portland morning session on dark content and the geoweb. It was led by Paul Bissett, CEO of [WeoGeo](http://www.weogeo.com/). About 15 people were at the session, and brought up some very interesting points.”

  “[This Yahoo! Pipe for WhereCamp PDX](http://pipes.yahoo.com/caseorganic/wherecamp) \[built by Amber Case\] grabs FlickrPhotos, the Google Map Location, drop.io session note updates, and Twitter Feeds.”
