In Writing: “Apple Does Not Licence the Term “Podcast”"

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

As regular readers and listeners would be aware in early October this podcast paid Apple the sum of $1 AU for the use of the term "podcast". That was nearly 2 months ago. It would seem that the wheels at Apple turn slowly but I have received a response from them yesterday.
I originally sent the [...]

The Global Geek Podcast #028

Monday, November 27th, 2006

Welcome to the show for this week. This week we had a few false starts, some audio issues, some gate issues, some English issues and some coke issues. To top it all off Knightwise had too much coffee. So it was a great show and should be very entertaining. For us it was like extracting [...]

Face Off for Art

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

If you have not heard of a face off by now then get out from under that rock and listen up. No, not the movie. A “face off” is where two rivals are pitted against one another and then visitors to the site are asked to vote which one is better. For those like Knightwise [...]

Dapper Support for Netvibes: Create your own “modules”

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

There has been a lot of buzz recently about what we at the Geek call “landing pages”. I think that is a good name compared with homepage because a landing page is not necessarily a “homepage”. I think of a homepage as a blog or maybe for you it is Google Search but a landing [...]

The Global Geek Podcast #027

Monday, November 20th, 2006

A huge effort this week to keep the show to an hour or so, there is a bit more “so” this week. This is only because of the great content that we had lined up. Unfortunately some got canned at the last minute due to the packed show.
This week we have everything from breaking news [...]

Knightwise, You Ask, We Listen

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

Ok, so here is the deal. I am in the process of getting the header of the web site updated with a picture of the current co-host, Knightwise. But that is taking a bit longer than I thought it would. We have been busy here at The Podcast Network.
So to satisfy the requests and the [...]

Great Beginners Guide

Friday, November 10th, 2006

We often get comments from new and existing listeners that at times we need to explain what we are talking about. I have been thinking about this and how we might solve the problem. The challenge is to maintain the interest of our Internet veterans yet enable our new listeners and the not so savvy [...]
