Business 2.0 to Podcasters: Don't Quit Your Day Job

July 29, 2005

Business 2.0 has sharp words for would-be podcast stars:

"If I were a podcaster, I wouldn't quit my day job," writes Greg Lindsay in the article Podcasting's Nonstar System. The article paints a pessimistic picture of the opportunities available for independent podcasters.

"Podcasting's wildcatting era is over before it ever really began. An unknown number of those Apple-made microstars will convince themselves that they hold a first-mover advantage in an untapped medium and that there is at least a modest living to be made from a popular weekly podcast that maybe, just maybe, could become a bona fide media brand. Eventually they'll fail, and they'll fail faster than ever before," writes Lindsay. "For the first time in the history of the Net, big media showed up early to play."

Hi everyone:

HA! WHAT A LAUGH!! *LOL!*

If big media "showed up early to play" as this CLUELESS MORON thinks, then why is it that those who are struggling the most in understanding the concept of podcasting and what it can do IS big media?

Perhaps this moron could enlighten us?

Talk about a bunch of f*ckin' RECORD LABEL BULLSH*T....
