Podcasters Featured on Apple Home Page
July 10, 2005
Apple is featuring podcasting prominently at its site, and making podcasts a significant part of their portable digital media solution.
Apple is promoting dozens of podcasts on the home page of Apple.com. While many of the podcasts featured are from Apple's media partners, such as ESPN and ABC, many indie shows are highlighted, also.
Featured public radio and independent podcasts include Todd Maffin's How to Do Stuff, Five Minutes with Wichita, The Martini Shot and Bookworm.
In addition to the prominent placement on Apple's home page, podcasts have a major place in Apple's iPod marketing. They are calling iPods "podcast ready". The iPod photo page mentions podcasts at least five times.
About which podcasts Apple is promoting and the way they do it: dont you guys think this is going way too commercial and that it is killing the essence of what podcasting should be?
i wrote about it on my blog - curious to know what other podcasters and podcasts listeners think.
