If you’re trying to use Skype for Podcast interviews — or for anything else, for that matter — you must read this post by security guru Mark O’Neill. I learned about Skype’s super nodes during Niklas Zennstrom’s phoned-in presentation at Supernova, but I forgot all about it. It will be interesting to see if accepting inbound TCP and/or UDP ports makes Skype less susceptible to dropouts and therefore more suitable for recorded interviews and discussions.

ZDNet’s executive editor David Berlind has launched a new IT-industry podcast called IT Matters. Two in-depth interviews so far: one with Gytis Barzdukas, director of product management in Microsoft’s Security Business and Technology Unit; the other with THINKStrategies founder and managing director Jeff Kaplan to get his insights into utility computing, managed services, outsourcing, and the IT research sectors in 2005.
