Bickering in pod land
This all a bit of inside baseball about something that you can care about or not, but the feud between Dave Winer and Adam Curry over who is the most responsible for the current Podcast craze is getting interesting. Winer, a mobile guy who's now living near the beach in Florida, is a blog pioneer who created blogging systems and RSS feeds, and had the idea of including sound files in feeds early. Curry is the former MTV VeeJay who lives in Holland and has been doing Podcasts for a couple years now and recently got a gig to put his 'casts on Sirius satellite radio.
The two of them collaborated on some early Podcasting promotions and last year met in Miami Beach where they 'casted together. Now their feud has reached the mainstream with this Boston Globe story. Winer comments on the story in his blog today, with a Podcast of his own and an aside that seems to be aimed at the Providence Journal's Sheila Lennon: "It's a new medium and a new world, I don't care how much they sniff in pro-jo land." (Lennon recently commented that she'd listened to a lot of Podcasts and found them boring, although she later said she'd found some good music 'casts. I don't listen myself because I have a slow Web connection and expect most of them to be boring anyway.) posted by liz at 10:32 AM
