04/04/2005 04:41 AMNumber seems a little high to me. I have been doing a show now
since October 9th 2004 I have seen some pretty amazing growth and
knowing that I do have a pretty good following. Considering were I
think my show is falling out in listeners I think the numbers some are
claiming across the podcast community is inflated.
We have been looking at some real numbers from real podcasters over
at techpodcasts.com and think we have a
pretty good handle on a number of the shows with real numbers that
people will take notice of. We are going to try and announce some real
numbers here in the next week from the info those that have been
willing to share the family jewels. We are not afraid of the numbers
we just want to know what the totals really are and work from
there.
I think you will be surprised that techpodcasts.com may be able to
hit our initial goal of unique IP's sooner than predicted. We have
some work to do to get to the number we think we need to be at to
throw down a media package that makes a Fortune 500 advertiser say
wow.
Give us 6 months and we may have a shot at hitting the number that
we have floating out there. But hey we are just getting started
building a new news network. [Pew-Int

Porn Filters For Adults
Porn Filters For Adults
04/16/2004 03:29 AMThe official target market for internet porn filters tends to be
parents who want to make sure their children don't run across porn
sites on the web (purposely or by accident). However, according to
this Salon article, an increasing number of sales are going to
adults who want to keep their spouses from accessing porn. There
certainly have been plenty of stories about online porn or "online
infidelity" leading to the breakup of marriages, but I do wonder
whether or not placing a filter on the computer is just a way of
whitewashing over a deeper issue. Obviously, if porn is getting in
the way of a relationship, then there are bigger issues than just
access to porn.

04/13/2005 08:36 AMThe Republican National Committee is pushing a podcast of Bob Dole
talking about his new memoir, One Soldier's Story, part of a series on
"new books by accomplished conservative authors." When I was a kid and
there were still liberal Republicans such as Nelson Rockefeller, the
joke about conservatives such as Barry Goldwater was that their idea
of progress was putting an AM radio into their buggies. Haha. People
were making the same joke about Ronald Reagan. But you sure can't make
that joke now....

Doron of WFMU sez: "WFMU, one of the nation's finest radio stations
(and home to lots of boing-boing friendly music) has just launched
podcast.wfmu.org. As you probably already know, some broadcast radio
stations,
BBC,
NPR,
WGBH
have dabbled in podcasting, usually offering random clips or the odd
talk show... WFMU is making seven of its shows available for podcast
including three music shows.
"Two of the music shows (Antique Phonograph Music Program) and
Thomas Edison's Attic consist of DJs hand-cranking old turntables to
play cylinders and records dating from the 1880s to the 1920s and
should hopefully fall under public domain while the third "Advanced D
& D with Donna Summer" (aka Jason Forrest) plays breakcore and
random CD-Rs from all over the place.
"The station would very much like to offer all of it's content for
podcasting but like other people, we're a bit concerned about the legal
ramifications. In any case, we're very excited to be offering our
content in a way that allows listeners to hear our programs when and
where they want to. hope you guys like it." Link

06/22/2005 02:17 AMApparently, the adults responsible for airport safety are so busy
developing
sophis
ticated and

/a> devices, they're leaving it to kids to come up with the obvious
ones. A while back, an Eagle Scout in the US creat
ed a shoe scanner that interested people at Chicago's O'Hare
airport. Now, a 12-year-old boy in Scotland has invented a device to
monitor
airport runways and notify pilots of debris that could interfere
with landings and cause crashes. Basically, it's a camera mounted on a
little platform with wheels, which rolls along the side of the runway.
Folks at the British Airport Authority like the idea so much, they're
working with the kid (and presumably some adults) to flesh it out into
an actual product. Perhaps the young inventor is a precocious
wunderkind, but you have to wonder what the adults have been doing all
this time. The kid was inspired by the Concorde crash of 2000, which
was supposedly caused by debris puncturing one of the plane's tires.
Why has it taken five years to come up with a simple idea to prevent
more runway disasters?

ANN: FeedStation 1.6 Beta and "My
Podcasts"
ANN: FeedStation 1.6 Beta and "My
Podcasts"
06/24/2005 03:36 PM
Today we announced
a new beta version of FeedStation, which until now
has strictly been FeedDemon's podcast client. As of today, FeedStation
supports NewsGator
Online, our free web-based aggregator, and it will soon be
supported by NewsGator Outlook
Edition.
Using FeedStation 1.6 with NewsGator Online
If you're a NewsGator Online user, you may have noticed this
innocent looking folder hanging out under your clippings:
This new "My Podcasts" folder is where you store podcasts you want to
listen to. Getting podcasts into this folder is easy - just click the
new "Add to Podcasts" icon that appears below any item that contains
an enclosu
re, like the one shown below:
Starting with the new beta, FeedStation will (optionally) poll your
My Podcasts folder for new podcasts and automatically download them to
your iPod or Windows Media Player device. Geek that I am, I love the
idea that you can add to My Podcasts on one computer and have
FeedStation on another computer, copying stuff to your iPod for
you.
If you're new to FeedStation - or the whole podcasting thing in
general - you'd probably like a little help getting started. The
first thing you'll need is a set of feeds that contain podcast
enclosures. If you're logged into NewsGator Online, just click the
link below to import an OPML file containing several podcast
feeds:
http://www.bradsoft.co
m/feeds/opml/Podcasters.opml
The first time you run FeedStation after downloading
it, it will ask for your NewsGator Online user name and password
and automatically enable the My Podcasts integration for you.
However, you'll need to let FeedStation know which media player you
want the podcasts copied to - to do this, select Tools > Options,
then switch to the Podcasts tab. This page on my site provides the rest of the details.
Using FeedStation 1.6 with FeedDemon
If you're a FeedDemon user, upgrading the bundled
copy of FeedStation to the new beta version is easy - just download and
install it, and it will replace your existing version. Although you
can click "Skip" on the welcome screen to use FeedStation without a
NewsGator Online account, you'll obviously need an account if you want
to try the My Podcasts integration. As promised in last
month's announcement, you'll get a free two-year business standard
subscription - but I'm afraid we're still working on making this
quick and easy for you (sorry it's taking so long, folks - shouldn't
be much longer now). So, for now, you can simply sign up for a free consumer standard
plan, then we'll switch you over to the free business plan once
it's available.
Giving Due Credit
For almost a decade now I've been used to announcing things that I
created by myself, but this time I'm announcing something that
involved several of my NewsGator co-workers. So I'd like to
acknowledge the late nights of development work by Darryl Dreiling and
Doug Furcht, QA work by Katriana Hutchison and Ria Kaur, and oversight
by Ed Jukkola that was required to make this happen. Nice job, folks
:)
Update: Here's
Greg Reinacker's post about the new FeedStation.

LinkHow I use FeedDemon to Receive Podcasts
How I use FeedDemon to Receive Podcasts
03/24/2005 06:17 PMA couple of months ago I posted about how I
use FeedDemon, and since it was a fairly popular post I thought
I'd share with you how I use FeedDemon 1.5 to receive podcasts
and sync them with my iPod.
In his article Payloads for
RSS, Dave Winer talked about how RSS enclosures were intended to
be downloaded while your computer is inactive (such as in the middle
of the night). FeedDemon certainly supports this idea by enabling you
to schedule your downloads, but I have to confess that I rarely
use this feature anymore. I download only a handful of new podcasts
every day, so I just let each download start right away. And although
FeedDemon enables you to automatically download enclosures for specific feeds, I
seldom use this feature since there aren't many feeds whose podcasts I
always want to hear (in fact, I believe I only have automatic
downloads enabled for my IT
Conversations feed).
Instead, when there's a podcast I might want to listen to, I simply
cick the enclosure icon to add it to my FeedStation download queue. I also make use of the fact that
I can drag-and-drop a media link onto FeedStation to add it to the
download queue. Chances are that most FeedDemon users don't know
about that feature, but it's extremely handy - I regularly find myself
drag-and-dropping MP3 links from Firefox onto FeedStation (note that
this works from IE as well).
I generally add podcasts to my download queue throughout the day,
and I have FeedDemon configured to automatically copy the downloaded podcasts to my iPod (although in the past I
used this feature to copy downloads to my Creative Nomad as well). I
then take my iPod with me the next morning, so that I can listen to
the new podcasts after I drop off my kids at school.
