Mitch from RatcliffeBlog: Business, Technology & Investing in his post "If the pros can do it...." says : "For a while, I've been suggesting that studios and broadcasters should make their content available for remixing/riffing/modification by end users. Now, Mike Myers has signed a deal that lets him do "film sampling" to take existing scenes from films to make new stories. If Dreamworks, the company Myers is working with wants to have some fun, they should let people sign up for $20 a month to access and modify any part of its library, then share or sell those new stories with a cut going to Dreamworks. " Mitch what if BlogRadio presented all of it's content like this.  Instead of a contiguous flow of all stories in one file, individual segments (files) representing each story or thought.  I listen to alot of news MP3s as I drive to and from work and find it very frustrating that I can't fast forward to the next news story or even move five seconds ahead.  A distinct separation of the show stories makes it more blog like and convient for other bloggers to add "BlogRadio show stories" not whole shows to their blog posts. I also see a distinct separation of what an Audioblog is and what a BlogRadio show could be.  A Radio show ties stories, thoughts, discussions, etc. together.  An AudioBlog is made up of distinct/individual/short/raw "focused topical (story, thoughts, discussion, etc.) audio clips".  AudioBlog clips could be aggregated into a larger presentation that (aggregation to presentation could be automated) combines audio thoughts on the same topic, discussion or other kinds of grouping which could be repesented as a BlogRadio show.  Not to say an AudioBlog itself couldn't contain a Radio show. Imagine if some analysts had the tools to just record and post their thoughts on a given subject to an AudioBlog.  Some listeners may find the raw posts to be boring.  But now imagine a good RadioBlogJockey using an AudioBlog News reader and gathering that same post and adding that same post to a BlogRadio show story. This is similiar to the methods the Web Talk Guys used when adding AudioBlog posts to the Web Talk Guys AudioBlogging segment.  If someone would have read those post I don't think it would have had the same emotional impact that hearing the words from the author's voice did.  Even more is lost when reading a discussion. As I have been thinking about Audioblogging over the months, I have convinced myself that this line of thinking is what approaches the "sweet spot" of what the incentive to keep an AudioBlog could be and starts to clarify the "fine line" that separates it from what a Radio Show is today.  H.G. 6:31:09 AM  comment []       Windows 2003 Server ships in about 68 days Robert Scoble: Scobleizer Weblog These machines are probably compiling a new build of Windows right now. Windows 2003 Server ships in about 68 days and is in its final development stages now. It's interesting to note that this many computers takes five hours to compile a full version of Windows (and, that they constantly update these machines to run the latest builds that just were compiled). In the "war room" -- which is where Microsoft's Windows team decides on whether or not to ship Windows (and what bugs to fix or not) is a list of items that will keep Windows Server 2003 (the next version of Windows server) from shipping. Here's my photo of the list.

Why listen to the big commercial station when you have better music (and blog posts!) waiting at home? Just tune it with your FM radio, and off you go. Adding in the blog aspect means that you, too, can make your thoughts heard, if you just care to make a blog." 5:54:03 AM  comment []       BlogOnRadio, redux A lot of folks have emailed about my posting yesterday on an idea for a blog-like radio program. There have been some really interesting contributions about distribution, of which I especially like the pirate-radio approach described here. But, let's get this out in the open: I do think a show has to be self-sustaining financially as well as thematically, or it just sort of peters out. See my comments this weekend on the Chaordic Commons for a sense of this. I think we need to drive the voices of ordinary people right into the mainstream of media and take the ramparts from them. It is necessary right now. I'm setting up a mailing list to start a discussion and coordinate with contributors who want to be involved. Mail me if you want to join up.
