I agree. To take it a step further I
anxiously await the day the term “podcast” is completely eliminated
from the face of the earth. It’s entirely too limiting in my opinion. We
don’t even use the word any longer…we just tell people we do an
online radio show…sometimes I use the word webcast. Yes, I am aware there
is a content delivery platform in existence called Webcasting, but 99.9% of the
population doesn’t.
When I used to tell people we do a podcast
I would usually just get a blank stare back. Everyone knows what “online”
and “radio show” mean.
So, death to podcasting. Long-live online,
on-demand content and RSS….however it may be reborn in the near future.

Subject: Re: [njpodcasters] Is the
bubble bursting for Podcasting 1.0?
I
probably agree that the Podcasting bubble has burst.
But I think it's what's expected. Its not that it's dying but just
transforming.
Basically, online on-demand content is what is still alive. I know
we've been getting away from the word "podcast" because I think it's
a little limiting.
Essentially every site now has downloadable audio, video etc....
sometimes with an RSS feed sometimes not.
I do think you'll find someone who will buy odeo and transform it into
a massive platform for the same content just less "podcasty" and more
about a variety of mediums (video, games, audio, etc..)
just my thought

for the day: "Is the bubble bursting for Podcasting 1.0?" http://www.podcastb
Anyone
out there looking to pick up a Podcasting 1.0 company cheap? I hear ODEO is for
sale.
So
is podcasting over or is it just Podcasting 1.0 coming to an end.
Looking
through my glasses I see these kind of events as cycles and parts of a bigger
evolution. So I am hoping that there is more half full that half empty to this
cycle as I am not surprise at all to see some of these 1.0 trees beginning to
fall. Stay tuned because more changes/bigger trees of Podcasting 1.0 are still
to fall.
To
simplify, new media on the web was just to big for what these Podcasting 1.0
companies were selling and trying to be.
I
know it's Friday, but I'm interested in knowing and how you see the changes
happening in Podcasting right now?
