A Chance For A Free iPod

October 13, 2006 at 6:26 pm · Filed under Family, Fun Stuff, Other Links, Podcasting, Who I Read

I know some of my readers have already checked out the Croncast podcast, on my recommendation, but in case you missed it, I wanted to bring it up, again. Many of you know that I was “highly” involved with podcasting, when it first started, and ran PodcastHost.com, until it became too busy for my hosting company to handle.

Back then, I subscribed to a lot of different podcasts, but lately, I only listen to one, consistantly.

Want a free iPod? Subscribe to the only podcast that I subscribe to: Croncast 300 by 300th iPod contest!

Right now, they are having a contest to try and get an additional 300 subscribers. There’s only a month left and about 100 more to reach the goal, and every new subscriber is entered in a drawing to win an iPod. No matter if you win, or not, if you subscribe to Croncast, you won’t be let down.

More Video, But Not My Own

January 28, 2006 at 10:34 am · Filed under Music, Podcasting, Technology

Eric Brightfield (father of Luke Brightfield) is putting together and sending over a higher quality version of Lazy Monday – Oak Park Version. I added a link to the SEO contest blog, yesterday, but I contacted him about getting a higher quality version than what’s hosted over at YouTube.

Honestly, I think this is one of the best video mashups that I’ve seen. The fact that two 11-year-old kids put it together and made it happen is the most interesting part. Like I said in the post, over on the contest blog, it’s not the original, but it’s definetly good!

I’m telling you this because I plan to upload an iTunes compatible podcast version of it, here. I’m not sure on the file size, yet, but I’ll be as easy as I can.

These kids know what’s happening in the future, whether they realize it, or not. I’ll find out if they have a copy of Darknet yet, and if not, they’ll both get one from me!

Podjacking? I Don’t Think So…

December 4, 2005 at 1:25 am · Filed under Podcasting, Technology

I really “want” to beleive that George Lambert from Podkey is in his own lane on this whole “podjacking” thing. After reading his blog , I don’t feel like he is “in the wrong”, at all.

It looks like Erik Marcus had “asked” for this service, in the beginning. If he never requested the keyword, there would be a problem. It also looks like iTunes was using the PodKey feed, and 75% of his subscribers were using iTunes. This is something that Erik should have been aware of, from the moment he knew it was listed at iTunes (something that I noticed as soon as I started using it).

I think that George tries to clear his name by telling his side of the story, but I’m not going to listen to a podcast that wants to charge me a quarter to listen to it. If you “really” want to tell your side of the story, at least make what you want to say “free”, like podcasts are supposed to be! UPDATE: There is a free version of the podcast.
