The Truth Can Hurt
Tuesday, May 08, 2007
In the earliest days of podcasting, most newcomers to the space would comment about the chatter. Specifically, how self-gratifying and boring it was. One of the most notable detractors at the time was Dvorak. (Of course, that only lasted until he started podcasting himself.)
Valleywag today reports on a very snarky review of Podtech's content:
Videobloggers interviewing OTHER videobloggers. What fun. Bloggers interviewing other bloggers. Bloggers interviewing videobloggers. Videobloggers interviewing bloggers. Tech party people interviewing other tech party people. When no one left to interview, interview others interviewing you. The incestuous fun never ends.ouch.
Podtech seems focused on producing media for the "early adopters" and
"insiders." From someone on the inside, it does seem rather incestuous - an echo chamber. What they need to consider is how this content will be thought of by people outside the loop who don't know who all the bloggers are, who just got a MySpace account, and started using Flickr when Yahoo made them switch, who found 'podcasting' because it came embedded on their new MP3 player... those are the people that are going to find this (whether its Podtech or some other niche content) very refreshing.Labels: content, media, podcast, podcasting, podtech, valleywag
