As a musician, it's that extra little effort that separates someone with tunes from someone who takes their audience seriously. Now if I could just get my audience to take ME seriously. ;) Pax, Matthew I don’t let a single MP3 out of my computer without adding the album artwork- both for my music and for High Orbit.

Now if I could just get my audience to take ME seriously. ;)

Chapman talks about keeping talent in your company. And while listening to it I thought it might be good for Linden Lab to listen to it, too. Not so much because of keeping their programmers happy but more regarding their residents (who are part of their people with talent in the end).

I just found Managing the Gray and I’m digging it. Doesn’t hurt that I’ve started getting into Second Life (Dude Rust) as well.

I think so. One thing I try to do with every show of mine is make it self-contained, so that if someone just hands off the MP3 to someone else, the whole show is in there. Show notes in the Lyrics section. Contact info in the Comments section. Podcast logo in the Album Art section. It's absolutely true that iPods aren't the only game in town when it comes to listening, but they still command between two thirds and three quarters of the country's portable player market share, and they all display album art, as do applications like Coverflow. That said, if your show's logo isn't a strong brand, then [a] it should be! and [b] cover art may not matter as much. In a medium where price is essentially a non-factor, brand is all we've got.

The one thing that kept me away from podcasting was the fact that the format was diametrically opposed to the vision of the "semantic web" where the entire web would be searchable through and textual (or at least easily parsable) data would flow easily through the internet. I didn't understand how someone could put any important information into a format which is useless when it comes to finding that information again. My marketing speciality is search engines and training companies on how to create content which isn't just pushing a specific product but contributing to the "global store of information." Through through web/blog search engines you will attract the attention of the exact market segment that you want to advertise to. Anyway, enough ranting... all that to say I'm VERY happy to see your shows up as transcripts. The transcripts are fantastic!
