Well, we didn't have as much fun as yesterday. Everyone that played games yesterday had fortified themselves by 8am. We turned on the instructors, but they either were not connected to the network (they obviously knew what could happen) or they were firewalled and fortified. One instructor did pick up on the fact that we were playing games with each other and sat in the back of the class toward the end seeing who he could own. We had a little fun with that, but nothing quite as fun as yesterday.

A year ago I was writing a lot about the need for content distribution for weblogs to hedge against the Slashdot effect and for RSS distribution. Since then, companies the likes of RSScache and Feedburner have come about with the sole focus of RSS caching, distribution, and providing stats to bloggers. We've been down this road before in the mid to late 90's. It's the same problem. RSS is too narrow a focus. There is still the weblog site and, now, Podcasts. What is needed is a personal content distribution system, or, as John Robb would call it, a Personal Broadcast Network. I'm working on it. No one has put the pieces together and I'm tired of waiting around.

Personal Broadcast Networks as the title of a Forrester report John wrote and I conducted research for back in 1997. It's funny that it has taken seven plus years for everything to come together to make the concept possible on a truly personal level.

This is fantastic! What I would like to do is create my own Podcast containing only calls from companies I've invested in. This is a great indication of where Podcasting is heading. Congrats to Keith Teare for a great piece of work!
