David Giacalone, podriah
Excerpted from podriahs -- blissfully outside the pod-caste system:
Cluttering weblogs with podcasting links, posts, and references -- and taking away from the content and quality of weblogs by spending time instead producing podcasts -- is unlikely to make weblogs appear useful and attractive to those outside the podcaste.The beauty in BlawgCast.com, for myself and Evan, is that our blogs will not become distracted with news and utterances from the "new technology"; rather we have created a seperate outlet where those interested in legal podcasting can aggregate. And we're not giving up our day-blawgs either.
As Evan so eloquently puts it:
Perhaps my cheerleading makes you ill. If so, you'll be happy to learn that this is the last time I'll promote podcasting on this weblog. Why's that? Because as of this week, I've become a co-host at Kevin Heller's BlawgCast.com, a weblog designed to bring you news about all the developments in law-related podcasting.Also, I strongly believe that there's an audience for podcasting because I myself enjoy it. If you are lucky to have a 15 minute commute, then maybe it's not right for you. But I spend 4 to 5 hours on the bus getting back and forth to Wall Street and I can only listen to Stern or the music on my iPod for so long.
But David, I certainly enjoyed reading your thoughts on the subject and I encourage everyone else to do the same.
update: David's inital post has created a landslide of commentary and discussion amongst the lawyers cited in his post. Anyway, JurisPundit rounds em up: Technology is bad mmmkay...
