My new podcast called PARADISE LOST is about people of the Zimbabwe diaspora, and it finally uploaded to Odeo today! A short demo (Show #000) and a first show #001 are now available. Click on the Odeo link above.
Here is the RSS feed if you want to paste it into your ‘podcatcher’ or podcast compatible feedreader: http://odeo.com/channel/33622/rss
If you like it, please help me get the word out. Thanks!
Will RSS feeds to your mobile really be a killer app? I wonders, seeing most of my family and friends have not a clue what RSS to their PC is yet! But, I have experimented today with 49PM, a java based RSS feeder for cell phones.
You can get the software here and put it on your phone. It works, but whether or not I will bother to fire up a GPRS connection often to check news feeds on a tiny screen is unlikely. Perhaps those with serious SmartPhones or Blackberries etc. may find more use. I canned the default feeds and tried my own, and sure enough they were located and downloaded quite quickly … but data transfer via GPRS is expensive in South Africa, so this may be a little ahead of its time here.
It is pretty simple to get an RSS reader (or just add an RSS extension to Firefox if you are smart enough to have converted!) and get any number of feeds you desire. But using RSS as a tool for getting your news out is quite a learning curve to do it properly. Lockergnome’s site once again is a goldmine of information and help.
I have recently added a blog to my new webpages about podcasting in Southern Africa. It can be accessed from the webpage but is also available as an RSS feed. Need to know more about what RSS is? Click here.
