Podcasting needs no eBay Rex Hammock: Podcasting needs no eBay via [Scripting News] "Podcasting does not want to have a "central place." The web hates central places. I use eBay as both a buyer and seller and believe me, I hate that it's a central place as it is now a monopoly. Knowing what we know now, would early adopters of eBay say I want there to be a monopoly running the online auction market? I wish an open, distributed alternative to eBay existed." 5:40:50 PM  comment []    trackback []     New concept: "Multimode" Podcasting  Defines the ability to describe more then one podcast in a single item of a feed.  This can be accomplished by defining a RSS 2.0 feed with enclosure(s) (collection of podcasts) as a child enclosure of a parent RSS 2.0. feed. This simple solution gets around the problem of not being able to define more then one file in a RSS 2.0 enclosure. This attribute is an optional  feature of Audioblogging 2.0. The receiving client software for the "multimode" podcasting could be a "multimode podcatcher".  The "multimode" podcatcher would have to know how to identify a "multimode" podcast which can also be thought of as a feed of feeds. 1:24:50 PM  comment []    trackback []     The Daily Podcast Feed for Friday - February 25, 2005 The daily podcast feed for today, friday is up at my new blogger weblog. 7:45:14 AM  comment []    trackback []     Audblog interview with Noah Glass circa March 2003 In March of 2003,  I emailed Noah Glass about doing an Audioblogging interview, a Multimedia Conversation about his new tool Audblog.  The plan was for me to ask the questions of the interview through my weblog and have Noah answer the questions through his Audioblogging tool Audblog. The interview had two parts (1, 2).  He answered all the questions in part 1 and never really responded to any of the questions in part 2.  I just took the non response as he was to busy. I always wished he would have answered the questions in the second part of the interview as the questions got so much more specific such as question 6 below about RSS.  I was also hoping we could have continued to converse about audioblogging and Audblog this way but it never happened. 6) Question: Referring to Audblog's roadmap, where does RSS fit in?  Will we see Audblog support it's own RSS feed or is the design to leave the creation of the RSS file to the weblogging tool?   to question 6. Supporting RSS and creating an Audblog community element would have been key in my humble opinion.  I am curious to see which feed formats, RSS and/or ATOM Evan's and Noah's new podcasting company ODEO supports. 6:52:11 AM  comment []    trackback []     Noah Glass: "We have been podcasting for years;-)" Here's a recent blog post from Noah Glass titled "We have been podcasting for years;-)".  Noah is the creator of Audblog (the first commercial "phone to blog" audioblogging service).  He was also involved with the creation of Audioblogger. The Odeo Blog: Wednesday, February 16, 2005: We have been podcasting for years;-) AlwaysOn talks about how audioblogger has been around so long that it is ancient. But, like fine wine...we are getting better with age! "Podcasts, in the form of audioblogs, have been around for a while. I don't recall when Audioblogger launched, but it seems like it has been around for at least a year. That makes it ancient! But downloading MP3s from individual blog postings was a bear and not very efficient. It was like the old days before XML content feed aggregators and readers. Remember the old days when we had to visit each blog we wanted to read? Of course, we still do this on AO. (Maybe we're dinosaurs?) But I view AO as more of a community; it's more than a collection of blogs." 6:05:27 AM  comment []    trackback []
