I definitely see the Expo expanding to include more general “consumer creation” topics (or whatever the term is – I haven’t found anything I like that describes the creativity behind podcasting, video blogging, etc.) For many of us who have been podcasting since the beginning (just over 2 years?), it seems like old news. But I think we have to remember that this is just in it’s infancy. As it grows and matures, we’ll start to see innovation grow as well.

Podcasting still has a very long way to go – even to be able to subscribe to one in an easy way that we can all explain to our parents and grandparents has yet to happen.

I also think that as it matures, we’ll see less of the word “pod” in new company names.
