Melodeo was founded in 2003 by the founders of Tegic Communications. While at Tegic this group developed T9, one of only two products to be deployed universally on cell phones. They brought to Melodeo a passion for entertainment on mobile phones and an approach to building products that puts the user first. Joined by a diverse team of developers and business people from media companies such as AOL and Digeo, Melodeo is united in its vision of combining podcasting, social networking and mobile to create an excellent entertainment experience anywhere, anytime.

With the dizzying array of social media services online and growing choices in social media outlets, from blogs to vlogs to podcasts to wikis to message boards to old-fashioned email discussion lists, its hard to know what the rules of engagement are (or aren’t). Chris Heuer of Social Media Club is aiming to build a network of people capable of “sharing best practices, establishing ethics and standards, and promoting media literacy around the emerging area of Social Media. This is the beginning of a global conversation about building an organization and a community where the many diverse groups of people who care about social media can come together to discover, connect, share, and learn.” In this conversation Chris Heuer breaks down the purpose of Social Media Club and how you can get involved.

If you wanted to hear anything and everything that was officially recorded (in audio) from Gnomedex 6, you might want to subscribe to our show – conference interviews and sessions are already being posted there. The videos are forthcoming – more word on that soon. Until then, you should get our podcast (which I hope you’re getting, anyway). We’ll have a few dozen unique recordings come through over the next month or two. When they’ve all been published, expect a full list of links here (and on Gnomedex.com). If we dumped ‘em all on you at the same time, they would overwhelm your iPod.

I listen to KUOW in my car all the time. If the dial isn’t tuned in to NPR, the radio simply isn’t on. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve taken extra laps around the block just so I could listen to a full broadcast. Last Thursday, I heard a great segment on the origins of marriage (What is a Traditional Marriage) – I wanted Ponzi to hear it, too. That’s when I remembred: NPR has podcasts! And let’s face it – NPR owns the podcast space. I’d give my left nut to have a show on NPR (and my left nut is slightly more valuable than my right nut, FWIW). The problem is that NPR has over 300 podcasts as of today, making them impossible to manage and subscribe to en masse. So, I’m asking the NPR gods: please give us a single, permanent OPML URL? You can keep the same dichotomy, just put in a more transportable / importable format. If the NPR OPML is always at the same URL, we can always have the latest set of NPR shows a finger-click away. And if you already have a master OPML for NPR, why haven’t you linked to it from your podcast page?
