Awakened Voice

Mark Cuban had the gall to call the internet, “dead and boring,” in a recent blog post. You can just imagine all the cries of protest as a result. Nonetheless, I think he has a point.
Mark’s central argument is that the internet has become, “A utility.” I think Mark is right in that respect. [...]

Google has had a hand in podcasting in one way or another since the very beginning. My very first podcast had a site on Blogger, a FeedBurner feed and my own media hosting.
With the acquisition of FeedBurner Google has been able to get the second piece of the puzzle in line by integrating the ability [...]

Jupiter Research Analyst Michael Gartenberg offers a lackluster reaction to the news that Wal-Mart has opened a DRM-free MP3 music store. As a fan of DRM-free music I’m disappointed at Michael’s very shallow analysis of this move by Wal-Mart into unchained digital music.
Michael takes a shot at the price point for Wal-Mart’s offering stating, “Overall, [...]

After getting raked over the coals in the most recent episode of P Dilly’s Today In Podcasting I thought it was time to give the other side of the new media story.
Some see it as unfair to compare one company to another. Some look down on me for pointing out that some companies are no [...]

The world wide web is turning into a real mess.
I recently started using Facebook as a way of reaching more podcasters and members of our communities over at RawVoice. I also have a personal Facebook account. I have a pair of MySpace accounts. One is personal and one is for business. I have a [...]

This camera also [...]

I’ve upgraded my personal and family website to Movable Type 4. The changes are not visible to anyone but me as the admin for the sites.
At first glance it looks very slick. Movable Type is definitely heading towards WordPress type usability and features. It might even be there already.
I’ll know more in a few weeks [...]

Not very long if you ask Chris Pirillo. He recently stated that, “…intelligent Drupal developers are in absolute short supply - to the point where I don’t think the platform will be around for too much longer.”
I do believe that the world needs more Drupal developers but that hardly means the platform is going away. [...]

I saw that Apple had finally gone social with their iTunes music store and just had to try it out. You can now share data from your account via RSS feeds and widgets (like the one below) that let you share purchases, reviews and favorite artists.
The new feature is called My iTunes. What I find [...]

I’ve been doing a lot with podcasting over the past year even though I’ve been generally quiet here. I keep my tongue because my association with RawVoice could lead people to accuse me of bias.
Well the fact is that I am biased. I got involved with Todd and Co. because I not only believed in [...]
