A picture named cuban.jpgEveryone's saying that Mark Cuban went negative on podcasting, like they say I "chastised" Apple, but in both cases, they're reading it wrong. Mark just put podcasting in perspective. No one would say that I am negative about podcasting, but I agree with him. The opportunities to make money from podcasting are misunderstood, much in the way people misunderstand money and blogging. You can make a lot of money off both activities, but not the same way as you would from radio programming or news writing. My podcast is an ad for me, it explains who I am and what I think. That could make me millions of dollars, or make me nothing. I believe in setting expectations for technology realistically, and not over-hyping. We saw in the 90s how it goes when people are unrestrained in hype. Better to try to figure out what's really going on and that's what Cuban is doing, imho. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Yesterday I saw a movie about Enron that Cuban was a producer of. Perfect cautionary tale about expectations out of control. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named youngMenWithBucketsOnTheirHeads.gifA long-overdue story about the podcasting community directory. Not enough people are aware of how it works, I always assumed when the time came people would look and be blown away, but I should have known that people only see what they expect to see. That's cool, I'm the same way. But there's more to the podcasting community than first meets the eye. I learned that last night, at dinner with a friend who's deeply involved in RSS, who wasn't aware that the podcasting community had done something remarkable about organizing itself. It's a bit of a dense read, but I promise it's worth it. So if you can clear about 10 minutes, there's possibly a mind bomb for you at the end of the link above. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
