I’m pleased to announce the formation of my next endeavor. I hope this will be the next step to Web 2.0. The spelling of our name is significant

Your attention, your networks attention and only the stuff that matters.

LAUNCH DATE IS IMMINENT

How sweet is this… I can now reduce my applications down to my favorite news reader. It just needs a couple small features to complete it’s usefulness, like individual settings per feed… the last thing I want to do is download every mp3 file from something like the blogdigger feed.

If you’re a podcast junkie and want the very best of the RSS world go get the latest beta of NetNewswire.

Train keeps a rollin’…..

AuctionTalk: Overstock starts podcasting a weekly show.

Impressive… and exactly what we’ve been talking about for the past couple months. It’s all about the conversation ….

I hope they work on the quality of the sound on the show. They need to buy a decent microphone and maybe a breakout box. Maybe they could get a cheap set from their auctions.

Check it out! The feed can be found here

cool little tool..

Found a nice little utility that allowed me to put a “What am I listening to:” badge on the blog. It’s an OSX application that works very well and supports creating your own theme for the badge.

I think this is a great addition to anybody that listens to podcasts… a great way to get the message out.

You can download this free app from here

podcasting starting to get media attention

This is seriously starting to find its way into the mainstream media. Here is a link that I found in a comment from an article that Dan Gillmor did on SiliconValley.com.

As I’ve started to explore the edges of syndication and enclosures it became apparent that we need to look at the transient nature of the masses. So I have started to explore concepts that include an extension to iPodder that will SMS a message and bookmark to my Nokia 3650 when a new show appears in an RSS feed. The significance of this is of course that if I’m on the road and can’t actually sync a new show with my iPod, I can revert to a lower quality device for the same content. In this case a converted alternative 3GP file of the show that is being processed by a folder action in OSX and then placed on a publicly addressable server. I then can listen to the show on my 3650 using the embedded Real Helix player.

Adam might not appreciate the quality of the audio since its been significantly down-sampled but it does allow me to access content when and where I deem it necessary. I love my iPod but until it has the ability to access the network as a standalone device (Apple are you listening? Bluetooth to my GPRS/EDGE/3G data network) I want the ability to choose an alternative device.

I’ve included a version of a random DailySource with Adam Curry in 3GP so that you can check it out.

Thoughts?
