Odeo... what am I missing?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #8434 of 39463 |
So, Odeo has already listed my show... they list eposodes that I don't
have in my feed - that I only want available directly from my
archives. Also, they are using a non-published feed. So I ask them to
make these changes but I'm told that I have to claim my channel first.
What's up with that? I didn't ask to be there...

So to claim my channel, I have to make an episode and include their
information in my meta data. Their site indicates that I could just
include the code in a blog posting, since that feed is also a podcast
feed, but I did that and it didn't work. I received an email from Odeo
telling me that it won't work and that I have to do the MP3 thing...

So what am I missing? Why do I want to be there? Its just another
directory right? With their own proprietary podcatching client.. and ?
