At Podcast Expo I was told by someone very well connected that something very big was going to happen in relation to podcasting. I tried to digg the information out but was thwarted in that effort. I was told at the time, that it would be two weeks before I would find out. Well two weeks has come and past and nothing.
An old school opening and a great deal of content and if I must say some pretty stimulating conversation including some smacking Microsoft pretty hard at the end of the show on the Zune.

Seems Jason Calacanis has woken up to the fact that podcasting is big. He even got a sponsorship deal from my friends at GoDaddy. You do know Jason who brought GoDaddy into the podcast advertising space don’t you? Pleasure to have been of service in a round about way.
Yes the graphic has been altered by me so calm down. Although the rumor mill seems to be turning pretty hard that Google may be looking to get into the Podcast Advertising space.
To attend the event this coming Saturday follow the instructions below, please be aware that Windows is required for the Interactive Presentation using GotoMeeting, we encourage all Mac users to tune into TalkShoe for Audio, and submit questions via the TalkShoe Chat.
Customized Search and a lot more cool things to come when we get this integrated into our site. This took me 5 minutes to create and should make you think a little about what Google has released here. This search box will only search the data that is on Blubrry.com, PodcasterNews.com and PodcastPromos.com
I know a lot of the hard core Mac users have been waiting for the Intel Core 2 Duo to be released and that wait will be well rewarded as the notebook will now be up to 39% faster which is a significant increase.
I am pretty excited that Sprint is launching EV-DO Rev A. in San Diego but was disappointed to see that Honolulu did not make there 2006 market roll-outs. If you live in a big mainland city you will be getting Revision A very shortly.
Steve wrote a pretty accurate post that was entitled TV is Dead. Nearly everything he said in the post is true, and while I love Movies I do not watch any of the regular prime time TV series. Well except Dog the Bounty Hunter via my DVR. In fact a newsgroup I belong to was recently talking about Lost and Heroes. When I mentioned I must be the only person on the planet that has not watched either show. Their were a number of responses back from other people saying that they had never watched the programs either. It’s odd you would think with Lost being filmed here in Hawaii that I would take a bigger interest but it’s nice to know others don’t waster their life away in front of the TV.
Rumor mill is flying with it being reported that Zune will allow users to make money with their players. With the technology that they have supposedly copied from WeedShare.
It seems like the phone will not quit ringing and when I finally get a chance to look at what has happened in tech in the past 18 hours I about flip out when I see this new service Google has launched.
Just remember I am a equal opportunity basher. It seems I touched a nerve with a Mac user over the Virus on the iPods. Those of you that listen to this show know I don't hold any punches for anyone doing naughty stuff. Sponsors: [Save 15% on any order of $20 or more at GoDaddy.com!] Use Code Geek5 [Try GoToMeeting
