Indeed, but keeping your ear to the ground is vital to being aware of up-and-coming technologies. While podcasting is indeed still valid for some of us, I’m trying to keep abreast on the new stuff in hopes of being an early adopter of the next big thing.

Opinions about podcasts really depend on who’s doing the talking: the insider tech guys might say it’s dead, but there’s still a lot going on at the corporate/SMB level. For your own business, if it’s easier to dip a toe in the water by starting with a podcast, then go for it. At least you’ve got it under your belt and you can move on from there. Sometimes you have to ignore the inside baseball talk of the technorati & pay attention to the crowd downstream from where you are.

Thanks for reading,

Michelle
