PC World on podcasting.

The once bland Podcast directory Podfeed.net has re-launched and is looking pretty good. The only thing I really do not care for is that they are using the FeedBurner Top 100 Podcast list which is really a shame, because it so mis-represents the majority of popular podcaster that do not to use FeedBurner, and or have the awareness API turned off. I did notice in their aggregated data that they are not parsing the entries correctly but other than that this site is going to start giving the other directories a good run for their money. [PodFeed.net]

Update: I was asked to explain what they were not parsing correctly. Here is an example of aggregated data that is formatted correctly it just takes time to make sure the code you develop is parses it well. Here is the same info parsed on podfeed.net. If you will notice they also do not honor or import the site graphic that is embedded in the RSS. All they need is a little bit of work cleaning up the code and this part of the site will look good.

Seems Sprint is going to be creating a series of commercial oriented podcast surrounding user experiences with their EVDO service. Nice to see them in the space but it would have been cool if they would have reached out to Podcasters that are using their EVDO service to podcast about it.

Since having my EVDO card and being on the service it is definitely considerably faster than dial up but not quite broadband. So hey sprint I have a team of tech podcasters that probably could get you about 1.2 million listener listens each month [Sprint]

I knew it would only be a matter of time before the Podcasting Sharks started to show up and certain number of directories are not directories but self serving promotion websites that are promoting everything from e-books to so called podcasting business services. In the coming weeks we will examine each of the current Podcast directories to determine their objectiveness.

The Podcaster News Network continues to grow in number of content creators and number of listeners. We have had huge interest in the turn key podcasting solution we have created over their and have been working for the past weeks making it easier to deploy other solutions.

We have a lot of things in work, and I expect to be able to make some announcements starting in the middle of the month. The development team has been really busy as well as our content producers. I am pretty excited with the coming years activities thats for sure.. [Podcaster News Network]
