I am a 'Createc'. A creative technologist, entrepreneur/ hacker/ geek. Worked on building things on the web for over 12 years.
Used to work at BBC News interactive and created the publishing and delivery systems for video news to get distributed on huge screens in major railway stations around the country.
I left the BBC to become CTO / sole-lead architect/developer at podcast.com for three years.
I have now left them to build a start up a new system called
'Phreadz', which is a 'Social Multimedia Conversation Network', integrating everything that is 'V.I.T.A.L' to us on the web. Video, Images, Text, Audio and Links.
I built the whole thing my myself. I programmed every line of code and positioned every pixel. I'm looking forward to attracting an hiring new members of the team to help me out! :)
There are currently over 1000 happy and helpful beta testers on the system so far and one client of a white-labelled solution.
Hi Kosso, this index is good as it allows me to get to stuff by name rather than (I mean as well as ;)) category. I’ve had some trouble with Doppler recently and will be changing my aggregator soon. So I’ve been downloading the Gillmor gang “by hand” (from podcast.com when possible) but there seems to be a lag of a few days between the Gillmor podcast being hosted by podshow and it showing up on podcast.com. Any info on this apparent latency ? Do you know why is it so hard to download from podshow directly? Direct download is something you seem to getting right at podcast.com. But podcast.com’s attitude towards aggregators isn’t clear to me. Is the part of design intent of to host opml that a web aware aggregator can use?
Cheers
John
