Podcasting, Time Savings or Time Suck?

Peter Davis has a great point when he notes that he can review 50 blogs in the same time he can listen to the average podcast.  He has a great point and one worth reading in full here.  But for me Alex has a more topical explaination of how podcasts can offer businesses a method for timeshifting important audio content.

For most companies conference calls are a fact of life.  Many of us sit in our office on several conference calls per week at peek work hours.  We could be connecting with partners and associates, but instead we are forced to listen to boring calls that often have nothing to do with us.  Podcasting offers a great way for businesses to allow their workers to timeshift conference call information.  Imagine being able to listen to a weekly conference call on the way home from work or being able to fast forward through parts not on topic to your function?  What if you could then use your cell phone to insert your own thoughts into a feed?  Alex details these features in his post titled, “Scoble is right, podcasting is inefficient!

Podcasting is a great tool that can be used to save time or to waste time - its all in the application!
