Podcasting and video blogging Scoble, John Furrier and Andru Edwards

Video is more linkable, but audio is more portable.  "What kind of story to have to tell ... or show."  --Scoble.  This determines the format.  Funny think, I love doing podcasts (even though my podcasting rig is kinda hosed at the moment) I don't listen to them!  Strange, huh?

No matter what you talk about ... you have to make it interesting.

There is a paucity of standard tags and ways of letting people know what the podcast and videos are actually about.

How do we podcast?  Ah that's where the fun begins.  I really like the microphone and my laptop model.  I had the the iRiver and external microphone thing going, but it seems to be failing me.  Regardless, it is really easy.  Andru did a little sample using his Mac, Garageband, and Hipcast.  On the PC I suggest Audacity (free) or Propaganda (pay, but worth it ... even though I won a free license).  The question of Skype recording came up, oddly enough none of the speakers do this, but Scott and I do.  He uses Pamela, I use HotRecorder.

How often?  Something predictable.  Be consistent (oops, that is my problem.  I tend to forget for a couple weeks).

Video, where do you put it?  Services, your service  YouTube ... you post, they own.  This is an important question for all these topics, doesn't matter if it's a blog post, podcast , or video.

Wow.  I think the non-geeks in the audience brains' have exploded all over the room.  Oh well.
