I received this instant message today from a podcaster who has a great show. I have removed certain portions of the note but this will tell you how Apple is destroying the faith of podcasters they are trying to support.
“Hello, you know this really does not bother me. But I can no longer search and find my podcast or vidcast in iTunes. They are still there but you can only get to them from the direct link on my websites. Apple has removed them from being searched upon. But, I do not care. And it looks like Apple is going to have podcast that you have to pay for to get. That is just wrong in my opinion. Just look at the latest post from XXXX Show. They are going to have to do ads or subscriptions. I don’t mind the ads. The GoDaddy ones have saved me a few cents here and there. 2006 is going to be very interesting for podcasting and vidcast. Can’t wait.”
So why can’t Apple get their act together this guy has a great show, my good friend John Chambers one minute tip continues to not be listed either. He has about given up hope and this was after direct intervention by someone at Apple who could not fix his listing. They have serious problems over their.
