It is pretty surprising at how many producers create podcasts and continually either name them something cryptic or provide little to no information in the ID3 fields. You don't have to build the search engine, only provide the information for the engines to work their magic. Joe Awesome post as usual Chris.

The only wifi I have access to is in my house and my office. In both cases, I have a MacBook to do the work for me. For the majority of people, a wifi iPod is not going to be a big selling point. It will be the coolness factor. As with most Apple product launches, the GMOOTs drive the product's popularity and the rest of us lemmings follow suit. Disclosure: I'm an Apple fanboy and will either get the iPhone or iPod Touch within the next year.

Quechup demonstrated this ably - if you can get your stuff to a central node on a social network, you can achieve instantaneous rapid distribution, and now with wireless devices like the iPod Touch, it'll be a ubiquitous effect. We won't know on enhanced podcasts, but if this is the case, there are some SERIOUS revenue opportunities available. On the whole, more access, more devices, more audience, more everything is on balance good for independent media publishers, because it boils down to more audience, period.

I hadn't thought about Search becoming increasingly more important. But realistically, does the saturation of portable devices take away the "discovery" aspect of new independent music? Could it also have the same adverse effect on podcasters? Subquestion: Does this INCREASE the importance of enhanced podcasts now, as a listener could effectively click an embedded chapter link and buy a track on the iPod/iPhone and not just from your desktop? Sub-subquestion: Is anyone tired of having to constantly keep up with the changes that Apple dictates? I'm wondering if you see a negative side of this for independent publishers, or a positive one...today has certainly been eye-opening. Jason @ Insomnia Radio Chris, these are excellent pointers.
