Bloglines support podcasts

Looks like Bloglines is supporting enclosures/podcasts now. Very cool :-)

Here's a screenshot of The Daily Source Code - notice the "Enclosure" link

The "Enclosure" link pulls the media file from the link in the item's enclosure object. I was expecting Bloglines to pull down the file and serve it from their boxes. Wonder if they'll do that in the future?

The doc also says:

Plus you can save podcasts to your Clippings folder, or post them to your Clip Blog to share with others.

This appears to do the same thing - the actual media file is not captured. What happens when it is no longer available on the host server?

106 Miles - April Meeting

Last night I attended the April 106 Miles meeting at the new location in Palo Alto.

Presenters were Russell Beattie and Mike Rowehl. I was pretty familiar with plenty of Russell's thought as I regularly read his blog. Even so, I was surprised at some of the numbers - phones are the future. As I am not a "mobile guy", lots of the subtle/finer points of the Q&A were lost on me. The Treo crowd seemed to have some definite opinions about things :-)

Thanks to Joyce for putting it all together and CommerceNet for hosting.
