The Bright and Shiny
Tuesday, February 05, 2008
Tech Crunch reports on a new eMarketer article saying that podcast are "taking off (again)." The funny thing is, that's not what it says. It simply reports on the steady and continued growth in podcast advertising that is expected to reach $435M by 2012. The market itself has seen nothing but constant growth.
It hasn't been, however, bright and shiny. Just as quickly as it hit the scene, podcasting moved on to be an industry... a media market. The hype died, but the industry grew (thanks mostly to the major media outlets according to eMarketer). As someone that's tried very hard to raise additional capital for their podcasting endeavor, I can tell you that it doesn't matter. Its a business now, and no longer very bright and shiny, and that means that most investors these days just aren't interested.Labels: advertising, emarketing, podcast, Podcast Ready, podcasting, tech crunch

No Wonder the Egos Are So Large
Wednesday, August 15, 2007
Dave quits whining long enough to notice that Facebook has opened up their news feeds a little, and Tech Crunch reports it like its something new. No wonder these egos are so large - if I could make a statement about the obvious months after it happened and be treated like a genius my ego would probably over-inflate as well.I don't know exactly when they started publishing friends' status information via RSS, but I think it was there when I signed up 2-3 months ago. Regardless, I know I used these instructions about a month ago to take that information and move it into Twitter.
