On Tuesday, Apple released iTunes 4.9, which added podcasting to the iTunes Music Store. I was excited to download the software and see how wonderful the "new world" of iTunes-enhanced podcasting would be.
So far, it’s not doing anything for me.
I’ve attempted to publish my feeds in the iTunes directory — nothing.
I’ve attempted to subscribe to podcasts in their directory — and that works. Sometimes.
Sure, I’m excited that more people are going to be exposed to podcasting and podcasters — but with the featured podcasters at iTunes being ESPN and Disney (oops — they’re the same people, aren’t they), is this really a media revolution? Are the people still driving podcasting?
Or did we just lose it?
I don’t know — but I’m certainly concerned.
Your thoughts?
Am I Missing Something?
