Comments on: Podcasts and Vlogs Kill RSS Numbers http://www.j2fi.net/2008/04/08/podcasts-and-vlogs-kill-rss-numbers/ Yet Another Gaijin In Japan Fri, 05 Dec 2008 00:15:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Jason http://www.j2fi.net/2008/04/08/podcasts-and-vlogs-kill-rss-numbers/#comment-1259 Jason Mon, 07 Apr 2008 22:46:23 +0000 http://www.j2fi.net/2008/04/08/podcasts-and-vlogs-kill-rss-numbers/#comment-1259 I think you're right, Frank. We can't forget that RIAA has also been saying pretty much the same thing as new ways to distribute media have been created :roll: I'm not against <i>all</i> podcasts or vlogs, though, as there are some made quite well. My biggest complaint involves sites that have been, for the most part, text-based where the authors think it's now better to record their rants as though it was some kind of "Captain's Log" from Star Trek or a radio talk program. These content creators are often quite good at putting their ideas down in text (which is why I subscribed to their RSS in the first place), but not very adept at making a 20 minute audio or video presentation. As companies like EveryZing begin to index and score the newer blog formats, I think we'll see an increase in both quality and quantity of these mediums. My hope, though, is that a text version of these posts are made available for the times I'm not at my computer :wink: I think you’re right, Frank.
