Back to the old name thing again
podstar::Marc Canter - Rio Casting
Interesting to see yet another person commenting on the Podcasting name (I blogged some about this here and here).
I guess I was either too lazy or not incensed enough; I gave up on the whole struggle. I think I was right to do so; it would be a tremendous wate of my time and energy to do otherwise. In addition, I'm getting a little bit of recognition for my site here, but if I was still refering to it as "RSSAudio" (my sexiest replacement for "podcasting", which isn't saying much) or "RioCasting" (not much better), I don't think I'd have the readerhip that I do (whatever readership that is).
Like it or not, the community has adopted the phrase podcasting with plenty of complicity from Adam Curry and Dave Slusher, among others. I think it's a marketing coup for Apple, and I can't pretend that doesn't annoy me (although I'm not an Apple-hater), but I also can't pretend that I wouldn't love it if somehow I receive an iPod in a mysterious package.
Good luck with your quest, Marc!
