Skype Journal: Slashdot Catches SkypeCasting Fever
April 10, 2005 05:05 PMSkype + Podcast = Skypecasting was something I wrote late last year and first published over on Unbound Spiral. Today it was picked up by Slashdot. Now a few months later I read more and more posts that refer to Podcasts that include a Skype component. Skype really is becoming part of the solution for establishing the "conversational podcast".

shashark writes "Technologically savvy users are merging these technologies to "Skypecast", using Skype's service to distribute recordings across the internet for free. This allows expert users to run their own mini-radio stations, which can be accessed by any Skype user. Skype does not actively support these uses, but encourages its users to find new applications for their service. Other possibilities discussed by Skypecasters at Unbound Spiral or Moodle are to turn an MP3 player into a radio station for any of Skype's 29 million registered users to dial up using their Skype line. Instructions also are available on how to record a personal soap opera and use Skype to distribute it en masse. Even more ominously, some Skypecasters record Skype calls and post them on the Internet."

It's a shame the slashdot article is so misleading. There's a big difference between using Skype as a way of producing podcasts by recording an interview conducted over Skype and using Skype to distribute podcasts and music. The first is good but still a bit awkward, the second makes no sense.
