PodServe gives you a place to upload, host, promote and share your podcast. PodServe makes it easy to start creating podcasts – if you can record an mp3 PodServe will do the rest. Also available are social podcasting and public podcasting.
Social podcasting basically allows you to invite one or more people to join your podcasting effort. For example, had Lincoln and Douglas had access to our Social Podcasting service they could have each added shows or episodes for each of their speeches without the need to coordinate their activities. They would just upload their mp3 to PodServ and subscribers would receive each show or episode automatically. Or lets say you have a ten member book club located across the globe reading ‘long tail’ books like Headhunting in the Solomon Islands. You can create a Social podcast for the club, inviting each member to upload their thoughts into the podcast. Each member would subscribe and by the end of the month (hopefully) everyone has read the book and listened to each others thoughts on it. Social podcasts can be either moderated or un-moderated.
Public podcasting - add a show or episode to your public podcast. Pick a ‘long tail’ topic or subject and let release your podcast into the wild and see what happens. Pick a ‘head of the tail’ topic and watch it explode. Sort of like a public chat room. Public podcasts can be moderated, but why would you do that to yourself?
