Straight from the Guru's Mouth: Seth Godin on Podcasting

In these two posts from Seth's Blog (post one, post two) Godin is surprisingly ambivalent about podcasting.

I know there's a lot of hype and excitement over the multimedia possibilities of RSS...so it's refreshing to see a calm viewpoint.

Note that Godin isn't anti-podcast. He's just a little more cautious and pragmatic about them:

I am fascinated by the math of the situation from the creator's point of view.

What would have happened to radio if
a. it was really cheap to start a station
and
b. the dial could hold a million stations, not forty?

We certainly wouldn't see the huge profits and high production values of radio today, would we? If there were thousands and thousands of stations to compete with, it would be an amateur medium, with nobody making enough to invest.

Podcasting feels a little like that. There will be millions of listeners... and there might be millions of podcasts.

But, then I think about A lists. Inevitably, a few podcasts will become like boingboing, the default channel for people getting started listening, or for people who want to listen to what everyone else listens to.

Additionally, MarketingVox shares their ambivalence of the "bloggish audio downloads" in today's edition.

Our take: It's another channel - and certainly an interesting one. I'm personally pretty excited about the prospects of podcasting. It's still early in the game, but with the success many marketers see with webinars and teleseminars (and their respective playbacks), I think the future for podcasting - at least from a marketing perspective - is bright.

IAC WebAward: Best B2B Integrated Ad Campaign

After much confusion, it seems we've actually won the IAC WebAward for Best B2B Integrated Ad Campaign.

(Yes, we should have figured this out a while ago, but you see, we kinda got the wrong notification letter. Then we had a little trouble getting in touch with the IAC...but then we got our trophy in the mail yesterday.)

In the end, we're really proud and happy about this...and we can't wait to show off our shiny new trophy.

Many thanks to client ADP for letting us enter their Resource Center in this competition. It takes great clients to produce great work. And cheers to all DG team members Allison Winfield, Jane-Anne Mennella, Mike Boos and Cheryl Grimaldi for their excellent work on this project!

And thanks to the IAC Web Award folks for the honor, to the members of the Academy... (You like us. You really like us!)

The Job Blog - Now Open for Business

We've got a new blog -- the DigitalGrit Job Blog.

If you're interested in working with us (because after all, we are the best mid-sized company in NJ to work for), check it regularly -- or better yet, pick up a feed.

We'll be posting all kinds of stuff about life at DG as well as job openings. I may even pop a few photos up there - which will probably get a few people reeeeaaaally annoyed. But hey, that's half the fun.

And by the way, there's an opening for an account manager already posted. So what are you waiting for?
