The Odeo Blog: Podcast Amongst Yourselves: "Today we're launching a new version of Odeo with several big changes. The most notable is that everyone can now record audio with the browser-based Odeo Studio - or via the phone. Either way, your voice gets posted as an MP3 on an Odeo page, and from there you can easily share it or edit the title, etc.

PubSub -- another rss aggreagator

2005-03-29T08:34:00.000-06:00

10 ways a journalist can make use of PubSub

Know the moment a topic of interest is mentioned anywhere across more than 9 million blogs.
Determine quickly whether a story you are working on is being talked about in the blogosphere -– a sign that it may be about to break into the broader mainstream media.
Connect with potential story sources by monitoring which bloggers are posting on a particular hot topic.
Track how an article you've written is being discussed in the blogosphere, to better understand its impact.
Pick up emerging trends by using broad keyword subscriptions to "listen in”"on conversations happening across the blogosphere (e.g., "teens and wireless" or "Homeland security and ports").
Use PubSub's SEC/Edgar filing alert to monitor companies poised to file an S1 or to go public -– and be instantly notified when the paperwork is submitted.
Receive instant notification on press releases issued by companies falling within your beat.
Better track how a particular story moves from the blogosphere to mainstream media, or vice versa.
Track any mentions of your name or your news outlet's in blogs, newsgroups, etc.
Pull updated stats on the size of the searchable blogosphere (for example, 9,083,318 blogs as of 3/23/05) to cite within an article involving bloggers.
