This has been a frustrating week for me, but I know I’m not the only one. This week I have encountered an old nemesis much more frequently than usual: The DREAD CHIPMUNK EFFECT. And bless the multiple poor podcasters I spoke with this week who have only recently learned that their past two dozen episodes [...]
There’s a great post over at Scott Karp’s blog tonight about the recent 20% drop in music CD sales this year over last. He asks the question, Is content still a business? Will the “content kings” survive? It got me to thinking, since obviously our business is closely tied to content such as audio and [...]
Yes, that’s right. Not only was PodCamp Atlanta a HUGE success, with about 200 participants, but the lunches that Amber Rhea had catered in were really pretty amazing. On Sunday, the menu was grilled Salmon, sesame chicken, vegetarian lasagna, and (drum roll, please…) Crab Cakes. Other PodCamps are going to have a LOT to live [...]
We are planning to release a fully functional embeddable player — in addition to the simple, slim-player already available — in the near future (hopefully by the end of the upcoming week).

I’ll be leading one of the sessions on Sunday, talking about interactive, participatory podcasting and looking for the wisdom in the crowd about how to use podcasting to build real community. I was looking for [...]

There are some great new shows over there, and we wanted to feature some on a regular basis, as well as talk about the site and the tools that are enabling podcasters’ communities. So take a listen to the inaugural episode, and leave us some love [...]
It’s not that I don’t get it, or that I am resistant to new things (far from it), but I’m just curious…is anyone reading this using Twitter? I can’t believe how much blog love it is getting, and I’d love to hear from those of you playing with the service. So what’s the attraction?
Nothing makes the heart thrill quite like seeing your own name on a freshly printed business card. I’m just saying… My ego got a boost today when our new CrowdAbout business cards arrived in the mail, and I cracked open the box to see. Come up and ask me for one at PodCamp Atlanta next [...]
My last post, which outlined an embarrassing faux-pas wherein we completely overshot on how many people understood what we were doing, was hard on my ego, to be honest. It’s not fun admitting you didn’t get it right. And then I read this today, and while I don’t feel any better by seeing someone else’s [...]
