Vimeo users have been shouting for this functionality for years and you'll see in this post - https://vimeo.com/forums/topic:5609 - that I quote: "We're actually considering offering this feature and are talking with Apple about it as we speak. We'll let you guys know more as things unfold. These negotiations take time so we appreciate your patience." - Blake Whitman, Vimeo. Mountain Lion now has Vimeo baked into the OS (http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/44418/vimeo-not-youtube-gets-instant-share-mountain-lion) so we really hope that some agreements have been made that this helps breathe some life into video podcasts. Fingers crossed.

I would like to learn more about your service as clearly audio podcasts need to be merged more into online radio services. I will ping you via email to chat. I think that all the present streaming music services are missing an opportunity to blend talk programming into the value package for services like yours and spotify. Generally music streaming services have just not got the common relationship between talk radio and music programming as a natual paring. @Rob Greenlee Michael, You correct that I should have included your DAR.fm service in my blog post about this topic.

It's a very arbitrary distinction muddies up the user experience by creating 2 non-compatible systems to get audio they want to hear. DAR.fm has a library of 16,000 AM/FM radio shows which are available for time shifting. Recently podcasts were added to the library. The goal is to make one comprehensive audio catalog that has all audio - in one place with one interface. Shows can be listened to on the web, smartphones or internet radio (without a PC). Merging podcasts and broadcast radio makes sense for users and the industry. Couldn’t agree more that podcasting world and AM/FM need to come together.

Stitcher is a fairly small company with limited resources to scale and have made mistakes, but the overall strategy they take is a good example to all and offers a good direction for other platforms to move towards. I agree that audio is the strongest and largest part of this medium.

Audio Podcasts remain by far the most profitable and or listened to as people have a lot more time to listen than to watch. Video is sexy but for most, the compensation does not even cover the cost of hosting, which is another factor that keeps the profit margin on sponsored shows significantly greater with Audio shows.

And for a long while, Facebook was the ONLY portal, the Twitter portal is new! If I'm a developer trying to raise funds for a 'destination' and my story includes Facebook as the entry point, do I have a better chance of funding than if I'm just cranking out an app or a 'destination' site on the web? Easy answer there. And now I hear that Google is reading my mail! And now it can tie it to my search history!
