Robert Scoble thinks that the reason why podcasting have not taken off more is because it’s hard to find new ones.
“You go to Podtech.net or Podshow.com and poke around. You have to download a file before you can listen. In that time you probably got bored and started watching Lost again. Or, even if you download something like “Dawn and Drew” you find out that they aren’t interesting to you, and think all podcasts are sex talk. If you’re over at Podtech you might get lucky and hit one of their great interviews, but a lot of their stuff is commercial and not that interesting.”
Congratulations, Robert! You identified the same problem with podcasts that we saw a year ago leading to the creation of PodZinger. With PodZinger, users like you do not have to listen to the content of podcasts to determine their relevancy, all you have to do is search on your favorite tune or podcast series and read the section or content you are interested in. From that point you can then click on any word in the podcast and listen to the podcast starting at the exact word you clicked. We make finding podcasts easy by crawling the Web daily, adding new podcasts to our index and allowing users to search every podcast in our index quickly and easily. Think of it as the “Google of podcast.”
If you are still having problems, Scoble, tell us a topic you are interested in and we can help you find something new!
