Rumors Of Their Death…

My bad. Fruitcast and Castfire are still going strong. Both had blogs that were inaccessible which I took to mean that there was no more news and therefore nothing happening.
James from Forty Media corrected me on the last post. And now Christoph from Castfire has chimed in as well with these comments:
“It’s been a long time since that we met in the early days of the NYC podcast users group. I want to assure you that we are still around and doing well. We are just about to release a new product that should revolutionize (well, that may be overstating things, but it should definitely be buzzworthy 
audio and video presentation and distribution on the web.”
“The blog was taken down because we are in the process of moving data centers and are trying to keep things static until it is over. Once we are all settled in, we promise to start blogging on a regular basis. We should have our website updated in the next couple weeks with all the details. Stay Tuned and keep up the great shows.”
So I will leave both of these companies in my community forum post on the Podcast Advertising Landscape and add any more that pop up in the near future.
My advice, for whatever it’s worth, to anyone retooling is to find a way to keep the blog alive so people covering the industry can stay up do date. I understand that a little operational security is necessary, but some teasing can help as well.
