Have you ever used a news aggregator like Google News? My guess is that you have, at least once. While these aggregators drive traffic to newspapers, magazines, and other content websites, they also cause problems with the headlines authors choose for a particular story: Journalist over the years have assumed they were writing their headlines… Reads more »

Finally at Moose Camp – notes on Journalism
So we slept in a little this morning, and we took our time. Compared to past trips, this one has been relatively relaxing thus far! We finally made it to UBC’s downtown campus (entirely underground in case you didn’t know) and got our lanyards. Kind of neat idea – in addition to your name and… Reads more »
PodcastUser Magazine
In January I wrote about the new ID3 Podcast Magazine, which I figured would be the one and only magazine devoted to podcasting. Today I noticed at Podcasting News that there’s a second such magazine called PodcastUser, though it appears this one will only be published in PDF and not as a physical magazine. The… Reads more »
Podcasting and Model Airplanes
I have written quite a bit about what I call “Average Joe Podcasting“, or podcasting for normal people who don’t want to turn it into a business. I have also mentioned that I think the most common form of podcasting will indeed be this kind of hobby podcasting, not radio-style business podcasting. Unfortunately, it seems… Reads more »
Podcasting – the "teenager" of media
I feel very lucky that I’ve been able to watch podcasting grow since the beginning basically, and through that time I’ve noticed a number of things. Such as the fact that the media has to put podcasting (or whatever is new and hot) into a category at every stage of it’s growth. Always comparing, always… Reads more »
Ring Tones
Ring tones seem to be everywhere these days. You can’t buy a cell phone without seeing customizable ring tones as a selling feature, and chances are you can’t watch five minutes of MuchMusic without seeing a commercial for something related to ring tones. I personally don’t understand why the idea of changing your ring tone… Reads more »
Average Joe Podcasting Revisited
You might remember that way back on August 18th, 2005 I wrote a post entitled Average Joe Podcasting. Let me highlight the main point of that post for you: Not everyone who starts a podcast is going to want to make money from it, just like not everyone who blogs does so with the intention… Reads more »
Video iPod Released
At long last it has happened. The oft-rumored and much ballyhooed video iPod was unveiled by Apple’s Steve Jobs today along with a new iMac and an updated iTunes that includes music videos, movies and TV shows: The iPod has “been a huge hit for us, so it’s time to replace it,” Apple CEO Steve… Reads more »
Average Joe Podcasting
It seems that big media has decided they want to get into the podcasting game, with everyone from MSNBC to Fox to BusinessWeek announcing podcasts in the last few weeks. I think that’s great! You know what they say, the more the merrier! And let’s be honest, no matter how much you like listening to… Reads more »
The News is NowPublic
Today has been a pretty restful day, which I think is good to have once in a while. Tonight I did some reading, and as a result, I found NowPublic via Scoble: It’s open source news, and even in its infancy it’s richer, faster, more powerful than the infotainment it replaces. We invite you to… Reads more »
