WebJam 3 presentations!
WebJam (Webjam) is an event in Australia that feels much like the Ignite event in San Francisco or in Seattle (see some Ignite videos) in that a set number of presenters are given only a few minutes to show off their product or service in front of an audience. That audience is then able to vote, via SMS messages, for their favorite presenter. Here is a short overview video to pique your interest.
This video is only a taste of each presentation which are all archived on Viddler and I recommend checking out each and every one because all the presentations are great. Some of the things coming out of Australia look really promising!
More Webjam videos
Here is a list of all the presentations that have been archived here on Viddler with links to the respective services as well. I really wanted to have a list of these for myself so I thought I’d share them with you. By the way, the play buttons will, only work on our blog (and only in streaming mode) so click through to see all of these videos in an easy way.

Thanks to the Webjam team, especially my friend Lachlan Hardy, for sharing these videos with the Viddler community. I’m hoping to one day make it to Australia in order to attend one of these events down under!
Update: Lachlan has reuploaded, and adjusted, a few videos so now the list is complete!
