From the beach

“A Morning Coffee Notes podcast done on the Archos on the beach, while tanning. Only ten minutes, but packed with stuff about weblogs.com, KYOU and podcasting for love.” Dave is recording a podcast from the beach in Florida, where he is enjoying the warm weather and relaxing. He discusses some recent updates he made to weblogs.com, including adding extended ping functionality. Winer also mentions his plans to release an application called iPodder.root that will allow people to easily download podcasts without needing to understand how to program Frontier. He then criticizes a segment on the Talk of the Nation radio show where the host could not understand why people would create and distribute podcasts for free, arguing that people do it for the love of it and because it’s fun and interesting, not just for money. Winer plans to submit this podcast to the San Francisco radio station KYOU that is experimenting with distributing podcasts.
