I wasn’t able to record audio at the OS X conference last week. I really wanted to bring you Lenn Pryor’s presentation on podcasting, but we just couldn’t make it work. Niall Kennedy managed to snag recordings of two presentations, however: How to Run Your Software Business and Messaging & Branding; After the Product is Developed, What’s Next? Niall tells me he hopes to continue to cover more tech events and share what is going on in the Bay Area with a larger world audience.
An edition of Background Briefing entitled Music of the Blogospheres from ABC (hosted by Stan Correy) is all about podcasting and related issues. Lots of excertps and interviews with folks like Adam Curry, Dave Winer, The Gillmor Gang, Dave Slusher, Dan Gillmor and Ernest Miller. Highly recommended.
Here’s a copy of a message I just posted to the iPod Developers’ mailing list:
Here’s a whacko idea just to think about for the time being. The
iPod, iTunes and perhaps other players allow listeners to rate
tracks. It’s a 1-5 stars thing on the Apple products.Would’t it be cool if there was a way to transmit those ratings back
to the podcaster as a form of automated feedback?I’ve spent no time thinking about the implementation or the
implications, but thought I’d just throw the raw idea out to the list
for comment.…doug
