Yesterday we recorded the third episode of PodDev, and I think its a great show.
The highlight of the show was an interview we did with Josh Jones, head honcho over at Dreamhost, one of the most popular webhosts on the internet which has recently announced an exciting and innovative new service. Listen to find out what it was:
We also talked about:
- - PayPerPost - what exactly is wrong with it? Is accepting money for a post on your blog always wrong, or is it OK if it is fully disclosed and no editorial responsibility is claimed? It’s an interesting debate, and one that I think the blogosphere needs to have.
- - The Google/YouTube acquisition; would it be good for Google and YouTube, and what would Google do with it once it had bought it? Would it rebrand it as Google Video, and if not, what would they do with it?
- - I talk a bit about why to offer RSS on sites other than a blog, and knock down some of the arguments like ‘loss of pageviews’, and share some secrets about how to get the most out of a feedreader.
PodDev needs some more listeners, so go spread the word; blog it, tell your friends about it, subscribe to it. While you’re at it, tell them about the Gizbuzz Podcast as well, which with any luck be recording its next episode really soon.
