NetNewsWire
2.0b10 includes bug fixes, a rewritten Atom parser, a bunch of
small new features and enhancements—but the feature that will
probably get the most attention is podcasting support.
Note: it’s still a beta. It still has bugs. In fact, one of the
changes we made was that, the first time you launch it, a window
appears that reminds you it’s a beta.
Some of the changes you were waiting for—they’re in there
now. Some things you’re waiting for aren’t there
yet—but we’re working on them!
The
change notes go into more detail.
Screen shots
Before talking more about podcasting, here are a few screen shots,
since the look of things has changed a little bit since the previous
beta:
Podcasting
We weren’t originally going to add podcasting support to
NetNewsWire 2.0—but after intense lobbying by a thousand and one
podcast enthusiasts, we changed our mind.
Here’s the gist of how it works:
1. Whenever there’s a news item with an enclosure, NetNewsWire
tells you, and gives you buttons you can click to download it to disk
or to iTunes.
2. You can tell NetNewsWire to download enclosures automatically or
not.
3. You can tell NetNewsWire to send audio enclosures to iTunes. You
can tell it to use the name of the feed as the playlist name, or you
can specify a playlist name. You can also specify a genre and you can
tell NetNewsWire to delete downloaded files after sending them to
iTunes.
4. You can create a smart list that shows all your enclosures.
(See some of the screen shots further up to see what all this looks
like.)
This is all still beta, of course—there may be bugs, and the
feature may still evolve based on feedback.
More features
There are a bunch of other cool things I want to point out—but
I’ll save them for follow-up posts...

Atom has better podcasting support than
RSS
Atom has better podcasting support than
RSS
06/05/2005 11:32 PM
Podcasting originated as a feature of RSS, but as the world moves to
the new standard Atom format, podcasters will too. Atom can support
podcasting through the
<link> element. As is the case
with RSS 2.0 based podcasts, you can only have one podcast per entry.
But, with Atom you can have a different representation for each
language and for each content-type. For example, if you want to make a
podcast available in both English and German and in both MP3 and WMV
formats, you can do it by adding links like those below to the entries
in your feed:
<link
href=”http://example.com/podcasts/show001-usenglish.mpg”
hreflang=”en-US” length=”21472922” type=”audio/mpg”
/>
<link
href=”http://example.com/podcasts/show001-usenglish.wmv”
hreflang=”en-US” length=”23889921” type=”audio/wmv”
/>
<link href=”http://example.com/podcasts/show001-german.mp3”
hreflang=”de-DE” length=”20032879” type=”audio/mpg”
/>
<link href=”http://example.com/podcasts/show001-german.wmv”
hreflang=”de-DE” length=”19907766” type=”audio/wmv”
/>
Disclaimer: Atom is a work in progress
(but nearl
y complete
).
This is based on
Atom format draft 08.

ANN: FeedDemon 1.5 Beta 3a with
podcasting support
12/17/2004 06:38 PMFeedDemon 1.5 BETA 3a is now available. As
you can see from the release
notes, there are a number of changes in this build, the most
notable being podcasti
ng and improved enclosure support.
After downloading beta 3a, simply install it directly on top of
your current version of FeedDemon and your existing data will be
retained. However, given that this is a beta release, I recommend
backing up FeedDemon's cache folder before upgrading
(if you're not sure where this folder is, select File >
Manage Cache > Explore Cache Folder).
Note to translators: FeedDemon's language file is likely to change
in subsequent betas, so I recommend against translating it until
version 1.5 has reached release candidate (RC) status.
JSPWiki gains podcasting support

06/24/2005 10:03 PM...which is the hype way of saying that JSPWiki supports RSS 2.0 and
the enclosure-tag in 2.2.27,
released about 30 seconds ago.
Essentially, all attachments on a page entries are added as
enclosures, if you request a page in blog mode (and add
"type=rss20" to the rss.jsp request URL to enable RSS 2.0).
Why podcasting support? Well... Let's leave it a mystery for now,
shall we?

The value of podcasting
The value of podcasting
02/01/2005 08:54 PMWhen the buzz about podcasting first started, I wondered what the
value of it was. And, even now, some people are still asking that
question. I believe I have an answer.
There are obvious ways to criticize podcasting. It’s hard to
quote a portion of a podcast. You can’t link to a certain spot
in an audio file. Reading text is much faster than listening to it.
It’s kind of like the difference between email and a fax—a
fax is a picture of text, while email
is text. A podcast is the
sound of words.
But all of that is beside the point—the value of podcasting is
that
people enjoy it. They like the spoken sound of words.
And that’s it. It’s not more mysterious than the appeal of
radio. The added bonus with podcasting is that you’re listening
to people who don’t have the restrictions of radio. They might
even talk about things that interest you.
It’s not a replacement for traditional weblog content. There
will always be plenty to read. No worries.

02/05/2005 09:13 PMLast night was the last night alone. After this weekend,
she'll now
sleep beside me - for a long time, I hope. After a flight back from
Germany I clambered to my apartment, stood outside in the snowfall and
tried to fish my keys from my pocket. A strange thought hit me:
"Whee! Outi must be home!" and an unvoluntary, unstoppable,
wide grin spread onto my face. Of course, she wasn't - that was the
last night - but I realized the simple
idea of her being there
made me deliriously happy.
I guess I'm still in love.

Some news on the BBC and podcasting...
04/14/2005 01:59 PMThe other big news today from BBC Radio & Music Interactive (where
I work) is that we're about to open up twenty more programmes - mostly
from Radio 4 and Five Live as podcast feeds
for people to download. As my semi-ultimate boss said:
"The BBC was the first British broadcaster to podcast
when we made In Our Time available last year and this trial will
enable us to further explore the editorial, technical and distribution
issues involved."
Some of the programmes that you will be able to subscribe to
include (in full or part): The Today Programme, The Reith Lectures, In Our Time,
In
Business, From Our Own Correspondent, Sport
sweek, and Fig
hting Talk plus highlights and documentaries from Radio 1, 1Xtra and the World Service.
For more information see the BBC Press release and the article in Media Guardian. I'm really excited by this stuff,
for a whole range of reasons personally. And with sites like Odeo on the horizon, I can't help but
think this whole area's about to explode.

Nokia and Podcasting!
06/06/2005 12:01 AMI have it on good authority that Nokia is taking a real hard look
at podcasting. Being they are the world leader in mobile phones this
is a smart move. As far as I can tell, non of them are running
Microsoft software in them. I think this is another development that
should cause Microsoft to catch up to the train because it is already
out of the yard!
Lets see Apple with Podcasting Support in iTunes, Nokia with
possible native podcast support built in and storage to boot. Very
interesting indeed.

History of Podcasting!
History of Podcasting!
06/17/2005 03:51 PMSeems someone with an agenda is over on Wikipedia making changes to
the History of Podcasting. Specifically removing Dave Winer from all
mentions. This is beyond a travesty, and even though the majority of
us that have been in the space for a while know the real history, it
upsets me to see people using the WiKi to make changes that attempts
to write people, that contributed to the success of Podcasting out of
existence.
RSS is the Glue that makes Podcasting a unique audio delivery
vehicle, and "Dave Winer" is the man behind RSS 2.0, Granted others in
the space made significant contributions, but to remove Dave's part
from the history of podcasting is wrong and a injustice.
Getting the History right in my book was important, people will be
hard pressed to alter what is on paper. [Scrip

www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/154/report_display.aspAccording to the latest Pew Internet memo, more than 22 million
American adults own iPods or MP3 players and 29% of them have
downloaded podcasts from the Web so that they could listen to audio
files at a time of their choosing. That amounts to more than 6 million
adults who have tried this new feature that allows internet broadcasts
to be downloaded onto their portable listening device. This will
continue to grow as an alternative form of information dissemination
for the persons on the go and listening while they are traveling

03/19/2005 02:42 AMJobs: Podcasting via ITunes
Jobs: Podcasting via ITunes
06/05/2005 10:55 PMHere at the "D" conference, Steve Jobs announced the impending
addition of a podcast aggregation feature to the Itunes music store --
to go live in "the next 60 days." The idea is, you won't need to use a
separate application to make sure the podcast content you want will
sync with your Ipod -- you can do it all through your Itunes
interface.
"Podcasting is like Wayne's World for radio," Jobs said, and the
new ITunes functionality is "sort of like Tivo for your radio for your
Ipod."
Jobs promised that the ITunes podcasting platform would be open to
all comers; there'd be a simple automated system to get your content
included, he said. But it wasn't clear from his demo -- which featured
material from professional outlets like public radio stations -- just
how grassroots-y the Apple model is going to be.
There was a moment of amusement when Jobs clicked on an Adam Curry
podcast that began with Curry complaining, "I've had to restart the
show 3 times, my Mac has been acting up like a motherfucker." Jobs
just smiled. You have to figure that he knew just what he was playing;
it was funny nonetheless.
Some other notable bits from Jobs' Q&A with Mossberg and
Swisher:
He defended Apple's suit against Web sites that had published
confidential info about forthcoming Apple products, saying that the
law was clear here, and the First Amendment ends where breaking the
law (in revealing confidential trade secrets) begins.
Pressed to talk about whether Apple would pursue a video Ipod
product, he talked about the hardware limits in delivering good video
via small devices: "Headphones are a miraculous thing. There's no such
thing as headphones for video."
The much rumored Ipod phone? "It's a hard problem." Swisher
countered, "You're a smart guy." Mossberg asked why it wasn't
reasonable to assume that all portable-device functions -- music,
email, voice -- would converge on the cellphone. Jobs' cagy reply: "I
thoroughly understand the question, and I'll have to leave the answer
to our actions inthe future."
Finally, it seems there's a betting pool inside Apple about how
soon Yahoo will raise the prices on their (rock-bottom-priced) new
music-rental service ($5 a month when you buy a year). Jobs' bet? Five
months.

Yesterday while driving in Arizona, I tripped across a very
short clip of an Adam Curry podcast that I wished every person who was
interested in podcasting could hear, yet I am sure that only a very
small number have actually heard it.
Adam was doing a podcast while driving in Holland. He's talking
about how podcasting today is like college radio, everbody, when a guy
pulls up next to him and flashes his iPod. They roll down their
windows, have a brief conversation, in Dutch. I won't spoil the fun in
case you haven't heard it, it seems that day the good lord was
godcasting, and Adam and Raymond were just channeling.
