Walter Mears interview

A picture named mears.jpgScripting News -> Remember Walter Mears, the retired AP reporter who came out of retirement to blog the Democratic National Convention? Well, we found his blog. And he was interviewed on WNYC this afternoon about what it's like to blog. Haven't listened yet, it was coming on just as I was getting out of range of NY radio.

Good points

I almost missed this.  Reading stuff like this makes me think we are near the tipping point of something really big. If I wanted to read into this some, IMHO I would say Eric is thinking how he ties his service, audioblog.com into OpenMedia.org  or something like it. I would say he sees changes/opportunities coming.  He's just thinking about what makes the most sense for his service/company to capitalize on the opportunity about ready to present itself.  Like blogging, he probably sees it as a layer he can offer to his audio producing customers as a feature of his existing service.  Your choice,  Opp In or Opp out.  Smart man!!

From the weblog of Lucas Gonze

Eric Rice is the maker of Audioblog.com, an audioblogging tool which keeps URLs wrapped up in Flash. Here's his position on the visible-URL business:

The right way is your way

To succeed in the blogcasting business, we need to support both schools of thought that some content must be open and freely distributed peer-to-peer, while other content must be tightly controlled. [...] Almost all of my phone posts I will probably publish the MP3s. There may be a personal business reason why I don't, requiring visitors to physically stay on my site. Maybe my reasons are because of the MP3's context, maybe it's because of something on the page is eyeball-monetized, but that decision (like choosing to use Creative Commons) is ultimately up to me. [...] When we over at Audioblog.com release the feature for users to access the MP3 URL of their telephone posts, it will be available to a customer only, and at their discretion, they can choose to put their content on the open-source market.
This is a fine conclusion, and I am happy to see it. There are people who want exposure and people who want control. For now, most people would prefer exposure and are getting control by accident. But, in fixing that, there's no reason to harass the few who do prefer control.

That said, I want to point out that exposing URLs is not the same as enabling redistribution. A good-enough compromise between total loss of control and total control is to reserve the right to host a file. It costs you a bit more, but if you don't mind that then you win the ability to remove or modify a file.
