It's summer in the northern hemisphere... people are out enjoying their families and beautiful weather. - Mike Wills via NoiseRiver
Summertime slowdown - happened the last 2 years. but when did Adam Curry become indicator of "jumping the shark" ?? lol - Les Zaldor
Disappointing that AC & Co chased a big media model instead of embracing the indie model, which might have become huge. - Brian Rendel
@leszaldor not neccesary an indicator as much as good example..podtech sold, podshow changed name to mevio to get rid of POD term. New Media Expo changed name from Podcasting & New Media Expo. I use to have new shows to listen to everyday.. now its days without new content - Britney Mason
@britney True that he's helped a lot to move the medium along, but there are many other great shows out there producing regular content. - Les Zaldor
The big problem is that these companies are pushing a medium that isn't mature. "Blogging" is now getting close to mainstream... what 10+ years later? We are trying to push Podcasting, but in all reality the technology isn't fully there for the common person. It took time for blogging to mature to the point where companies are making money of off blogs and the common person visited the blog as often as they did cnn.com. - Mike Wills
Former child star, Brian Bonsall, who played Michael J. Fox's kid brother, Andy Keaton, in Family Ties, is in trouble again: this time for probation violation.
Bonsall, 26, of Boulder, Colo., was sentenced in 2007 to two years' probation for assaulting his girlfriend. She claimed that he poured an alcoholic drink on her face as she slept, choked her and threw her on a bed. - Britney Mason
