Why Podcast is good for you
Michael Arrington Announce yesterday the launch of his new podcast blog.
the new blog called - TalkCrunch.
Mike will be podcasting about companies he reviewed on his blog.
I've been thinking why podcas is a good service for you and I came up with some reason's:
- Convenient - Most of the people I know are working hard and don't have so much time to spend on the computer.
when I want to read something and don't have the time for it, I usually printing the article and read it later. I think it's wonderful that I can now just download it to my ipod and listen to it on the way home from work or when I'm jogging.
It's like web to go.
- Personal - Sure it's faster to read an article on a blog, but sometimes the written word is read differently than it was intended, and that mught cause one to miss the idea.
I guess Mike is going to pick top topics from his blog and in that case it
will be much more easy and helpful to understand and get much more by hearing the podcast. any way, in my opinion, by hearing human voice the explanation gose deeper.
- Don't left behind - Clearly podcasting is part of the new Internet generation and
I'll expect to see more of that coming in the future. It's really didn't surprise me that Michael Arrington took his blog to the next level, because if some one know what is the right way to enjoy the service that the web can give you today, it is probably him.
The Internet is getting more usable and it is giving us excellent tools to get and use the information that we need.
Bottom line, the Internet give - you just have to take.

Hi Orli, It's about time you'd start your own blog.
Your feed is added to my outlook based feed reader. ;)
Don't let it stop you from posting the same posts on Flashoo. with all the recent bloging, that old and battered forum is becoming an endangered species.
:flowers:
I agree with the covenients points listed with good argue but I think it's no so easy to avoid the defaults :
When you read, if you get the good method, it's fast : your eyes create tagand you undertsand very quiclky.
When you hear a podcast you can skip many podcast are not in "chapters" so you have to listen the full podcast.
Then your second need is time : you must optimize the listening : footing, travel between home and office, or driving. To have this time is a must !!
Really it is just the best way to get to information for some people - and that is the point. It may or may not suit everyone but it includes more. It is about time we started to pay some attention to the rest of the learners out their who have always struggled with reading.
The other advantage ofcourse is the role it can play in transforming the way teachers teach and learners learn. No more need to repeat teh same old speech time and time again, just podcast it and refer the students to that.
Students ofcourse get to review as often as they like and miss that old excuse that they missed out because they were away that day.
Just some thoughts as I have made a commitment to comment rther than just lurk!
Your page has inspired me to have a go. So now I have started. Like the Flickr integration - I must add that.
