Odeo Disconnects
5 Oct 2006 in Podcasting by GarrickUntil moments ago, I would recommend Odeo and Hipcast (formerly Audioblog.com) as the easiest way to get podcasting - just sign up and call the phone number they give you. (Odeo free, Hipcast small fee)
Boom. Mass voicemail.
Outside of that, I wasn’t sure what Odeo had unique and compelling from so many of the other players in the space (is it a directory?, a studio?, a social network?, an aggregator?). Only their post-by-phone clicked for me. I guess it didn’t click for anyone else.
Kudos to Hipcast for charging from the beginning and ensuring a greater permanence than a free, resource-intensive service.
Many thanks to Eric Rice for clarifying the difference between Hipcast and AudioBlogger.com (the post-by-phone engine behind Odeo). For quite a while, I thought they were one in the same. Real glad they’re not.
