I think podcasting is great…and here’s the but…we need CONTENT! I also think that there are millions (maybe thousands) of “American Idols.” How about some great music-casts from the these folks?

And all those stupid A-bloggers are non-stop podcast maniacs. I guess it’s good for consulting revenue.

BTW, I advised my Rabbi about 10-years-ago to put his sermon on the Net — way before Godcasting and podcasting. BTW, he didn’t take my advise.

Have a good holiday weekend.

Ken

Content will drive this. And I agree with you...there's not much good stuff out there. But that's not the full picture. Because there are obstacles (technology, usability, and awareness) that are on the decline, content will begin to rise.<BR/><BR/>Apple is taking a different approach. They have content (new songs) so they don't care about all the other ways to do it. I'm not crazy about the idea of rag tag content either. The only tapes or CDs I own are of music or conference presentations. I don't see much off a difference with podcasting. I'm not convinced there's a real audience for it. But there are specialized niche audiences I think that can be met this way well.<BR/><BR/>I think it'll happen...especially as we move more into convergence (all mobile technologies converging), fast always-on connections. Time will tell.<BR/><BR/>And I do agree with you about the fact there are a lot of "A-bloggers" rambling non-stop about it. I think, in part, it does help with the awareness of it. But it certainly isn't the next killer ap! I totally agree. Content will drive this. And I agree with you…there’s not much good stuff out there. But that’s not the full picture.
