Well, we're coming to the end of this (and just in the nick of time). Today the topic is another one I'm familiar with: podcasts and hosted videos.
Odeo wasn't a product I was familiar with - I'm an iTunes user. It was pretty cool for desktop listening, though some of the podcasts I found weren't up to date and no one was listening to them.
I'm skeptical about the utility of many podcasts. You really need an eager audience for them to be successful. So, either your local audience needs to tech savvy and enthusiastic, or your content needs to be widely applicable. In sum, I think you should build it because you have a need, not just because you can.
YouTube on the other hand has a huge audience looking at all kinds of things. I've used it to look for video tutorials and amusing library-related videos. The one I've chosen today however is medically-oriented. Crazy medical students in Alberta do some great spoof videos. This one is about EKGs.
