Whoops, forgot I had a blog for awhile there. Sorry folks! But
I'll be honest: I had a lot of fun not updating this site. Updating
it has started to become a chore, and blah blah blah you've read
this on a million other blogs. Let's just say that I'm not going to
stick to the MWF schedule I was before and will update from now on
when I choose. Ok? ok.
So I never really have railed on Podcasting. I'm meaning to, so I
will save the crap about what Podcasting is for another day (short
version: bloggers read their entries into a microphone then post the
mp3) and just say that it's a retarded fad that is incredibly
stupid. So what
the FUCK are these people thinking releasing a study that
says that a whopping 29% of people who own ipods have downloaded
have downloaded them? NO ONE listens to Podcasts. Even the so-called
best ones are still essentially unlistenable, and -- like vlogs --
going through the whole process of downloading a podcast and loading
it onto your Ipod takes longer than just reading the blog entry to
begin with. LAME.
But anyway, now the dudes in charge of that
study are saying they fucked it all up. They asked the wrong
question and the morons who responded got confused. So yes indeed,
podcasts are still retarded and the Pew Internet & American Life
Project is a giant waste of time and everyone there should be fired.
