Just discovered podcasting… Basically it offers you the possibility to compose your individual (on-the-way) radio. But after some time exploring podcasting and playing around with some podcasting-clients I’m still not sure of using it frequently.First, we have a absolutely fabulous radiostation here (-> fm4). Thus I currently have no need to compose an alternative radio.
Secondly, the clients, no offense but imho is the use of most of the clients pretty complicated. If my programming skills were better I would try to integrate podcasting functionality to the Firefox extension Sage, or would hope for integration in one of the already very convenient RSS-clients out there (PulpFiction, Newsfire, etc.).
Nevertheless podcasting is for sure a great new form of radio broadcasting – you choose your shows, completely independent from any schedule – you create and publish your show without the need of a traditional radio station – sounds promising! let’s see how this evolves…
What I really would like to do is to connect to other mp3-players on the street, subway or wherever. Everytime I’m plugged to mine I’m wondering about what music are all the others listening to – just curiosity. I know there are some gadgets around that turn your iPod into a little radio station, but that’s way too complicated. I would like to have a simple function to switch thru all neighbouring mp3-players if they allow it 
(without downloading of course! just listening…)
