Prior to this the term was known as "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcatching" rel="nofollow">broadcatching</a>" which never really caught on. The emergence of the iPod as a culteral icon has really given steam to this movement, although you are absolutely correct that it is platform and player agnostic. If it is currently riding on the coattails of the most popluar media player (82% market share!!) and creates a loyal base (remeber Newtons? A lot of people got used to the concept of palm pilot), no matter how this thing shakes out there will be plenty of wide understanding and acceptance. Who knew what a Tivo was a few years ago? Now people who don't even understand Tivos are getting them packaged with their cable service, THEN they get it. A lot of people's bets are on mobile phones being the next step. And in that model there the constituency already understands the concept of subscribed services. So I would liken this more to a branding "bump" than a "hump," and in the end, even if users don't understand it, when its already integrated into their device, why does that particularly matter? Podcasting certainly isn't dying on the vine, the buzz has just begun... I have started an independent music site called <a href="http://www.indiefeed.com" rel="nofollow">IndieFeed</a> where we serve single-serving podcasts of non RIAA acts, and we are getting a whole lot of interest, I don't think branding will be a killer...

I can't help but think Chris has lost tons of past and potential subscribers becase LG has evolved into a site that frankly looks like tons of other technews sites. Just lots of little blips on this and that, too overextended in many directions, and no real defining personality pulling it all together The original 'extended letter' style was far more enjoyable to peruse I think. It had way more personality. The 'slickification' of LG also wiped out a lot of the personality of the original. It's funny, because Chris' blog is a lot like the original LG, now. I'm for 'progress' but sometimes progress isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Anybody else? Anybody else out there miss the 'old' Lockergnome, which seemed more personal and 'attended-to'?

NightFeed? WakeAndPlay? Thinking ahead, there's no reason this can't apply to videos. Just because the ipod can't play them (at least in the 3rd generation) doesn't mean another personal gadget won't. Some bittorrent search engines already sport RSS of new torrents, or new torrents by category. The RSS enclosure would be the torrent file. Things missing for me... Navigation. I want the ability to scan through long posts. When I get a feed from NPR, I can see all the segment titles. I don't need to read all of Morning Edition because of the narrative and metadata. I can browse and surf, pick and choose. I want navigation tools that let me skip to the next segment or the next commercial, nav by content structure instead of time. Metadata. As long as there's spoken word sitting on my desktop, any way I can get closed captioning via WinXP text-to-speech? In the background? A variation on the Orange RSS button, so I know a feed includes podcast-ready enclosures. FeedPlay?

I work for a marketing agency mainly working for ministries. All ministries have a desire to get their messages out but many of them are trapped in an old 60s and 70's paradigm of televising their church service.
