As PR-man-in-chief, I have more great write-ups and demos to share with you vod:podders.
First, a great piece in this month’s Business 2.0 magazine by Om Malik called Aggregating the Aggregators. Unfortunately it’s not up online (yet), but Om starts by noting that “some of the smartest new companies on the Net are those that are doing the content collectors one better” and says of vod:pod that:
[it] was born in San Francisco in June and so far shows a lot of promise. VodPod allows consumers to build their own “pods,” which is Hall’s rather fancy term for online video channels. The idea is that you grab the videos you like from any of the 100-odd video-sharing sites already online — say, every bird-watching vid you can get your hands on — and build a channel called the Birding Pod.
…
This is one of the hot opportunities in new new media: hyper-aggregation. If aggregation is what we’ve seen so far on YouTube and Flickr, hyperaggregation is aggregating the aggregators.
There was also a nice writeup on vod:pod in the current edition of Filmmaker Magazine.
Finally, Robert Scoble just posted an interview he did with me back in December. vod:pod looks great, but I wanted to run in horror looking at myself on camera.
As I posted on Scoble’s blog, I clearly have a face for radio and wished he was a podcaster instead!
