Marjolein Hoekstra has pointed me to SplashCast, a new service that allows you to create streaming media channels.
As a quick experiment, I whipped up a “CAPOW” channel, which should be appearing below. CAPOW is an informal group of business and communications podcasters — the acronym comes from Communications and Advertising Podcasters Of the World and was coined by Joe Jaffe — that I belong to.
Through this widget, you can listen to up to the latest 10 audio enclosures/podcasts of each of the shows that I’ve added to the channel. A small version of the widget has also been added to this blog’s right sidebar.
Creating the channel in SplashCast was snap, and the player interface is slick, if not a bit buggy. Certainly interested in your feedback.
[Using RSS and not seeing Splashcast player? Then come on over and see this post on the blog.]

30|Apr|2007 1I think this a great tool. It also may be the next step in the evolution of podcasting. A podcasting channel with similar interest is a great step forward.
My one concern is grouping together podcasts without the owners knowledge. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Thanks for your comment. This is a channel that I have created, using a grouping alignment that makes sense to me. You could create your own channel and categorize the very same podcasts in any way that you like. Don’t see how that’s a lick of concern.

30|Apr|2007 3It wouldn’t be you that I would be worried about. My thought was could it be used to “scrape” podcast feeds for other means. It’s just how my brain works.

30|Apr|2007 4Looks nice. Where are the links back to the original blog and where are the CC licenses?

30|Apr|2007 5Good questions, Steve, and I don’t have the answers to them. They’re obviously not part of the player display that comes with the default “embed code” that SplashCast provides.
To be safe, a blogger should probably not add shows to a public channel that don’t have producer’s permission or CC license.
Thanks for raising this issue.
