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!

Enterprise Grade Support for WordPress
Toni Schneider is announcing the launch of the Automattic Support Network for enterprise-grade support of WordPress and WordPress MU.
Says Toni:
WordPress is already used to power blogs and sites by several well known large companies, places like the New York Times, CNET, and About.com. In talking to other large corporate users over the past few months, I’ve received the same request over and over: if we could pay you to provide us with enterprise level support for WordPress, we’re ready to deploy it in a big way. We’ve responded by creating the Support Network. It’s loosely modelled after similar offerings from companies like MySQL and Red Hat who provide support subscriptions for open source software.
WordPress is our primary platform, and we’ve been talking with Matt & Toni about serving as one of their recommended professional service providers for integration, development, marketing support and other types of professional services that are adjuncts to the core platform support Automattic will focus on. We are also moving ahead on integrating white-label versions of some of the Big in Japan apps (PodServe, primarily), which we think are an ideal complement to extensible platforms like WordPress.
Check out what the Support Network has to offer.
Update:Â Marshall weighs in at TechCrunch.

Bloggercon from afar
Hope Barcamp SF has a vid cast going tomorrow. I caught the tail snippet of Doc’s closing session of Bloggercon today, and it was fun to watch the video & the irc backchannel. Next best thing to sitting in the audience glancing up occasionally from my Mac. Bloggercon is also running tomorrow, and Barcamp SF through Sunday.
