Podcasting

I just watch Steve Jobs announce to the world the next great shift in the Macintosh, the shift to intel. Well done, Steve! I admire Steve Jobs. He is clearly capable of sustained genious.

Podcasting is one of the technologies that really excites me. That changes things and makes things so much more democratic. What I love about podcasting is that it truly threatens (I hope) organizations like Clear Channel and Sinclair. Certainly, from an American perspective that is important. But think about it from a Russian (or Chinese) perspective. I think of Berezovsky and Gusinsky. Those media empires (although, they have since crumbled) are far more the victims of such technology.

I remember, back at that school in Vermont, pouring over volumes of Samizdat. Samizdat to Podcasting. Wow.
