Portable Media Expo 2005 Wrapup

The Portable Media Expo was certainly a success from the perspective an industry just barely turning one. Leading experts were on hand to share knowledge with colleagues and meet face to face for the first time. A number of services also received deserved attention throughout the course of the event. Among the many people we talked to at the event, Seattle local favorite, CrapMonkey, talks about being a professional video producer as well as his role talking about technology, beer, music and movies. Following the CrapMonkey is PodScope, a company that searches inside podcast audio files to deliver text search results. In the wasteland of information overload, PodScope is quite possibly the podcaster’s best friend, powered by technology used to search the audio of television programming, the company boasts 80%+ accuracy. I still contend podcasters should be providing a search-friendly synopsis of their podcast in text format, but barring that, PodScope is a great alternative. Last up in our show wrap-up is an interview with John Federico of Audible, talking about the new Audible Podcasting service. If you want deliverability, uptime and unmetered bandwidth, Audible offers these and other compelling reasons to consider using their service to deliver your podcast subscription.
