I’ve often thought about starting a meme watch blog to critique the memes that come and go in the blogosphere. For example, del.i.cious is cool until you realize the amount of time it takes. Tagging is nifty, until you see search results in Technorati that return with no weight or order to them. Tribe.net has this swiss-army-knife approach to put all possible social blogging functions into one container and does none of them well and, of course, no one reads RSS as much as they say they do. I can go on all day about memes that suck, but the point of this post is that two podcast radio deals were recently announced. Sirius is trying the one-podcast to rule them all approach with Adam Curry (they haven’t said if he’ll still take bong hits on air) and Infinity Broadcasting Corp is converting a San Francisco station to a podcast only format. Depending on who you talk to in the podcast community, these two events are either a harbinger of success to come or the first signs of the apocalypse. I’m neutral on either opinion, but I would certainly like to just add a podcast show to iTunes from a public radio menu. I don’t care where independent radio comes from as long as I can just listen to it.
We will be podcasting the next BBS 05 and I recently podcasted on Pug Blog.
