Pods and Bloglines
As an experiment I've added the . The aim is to eventually put all our links (that have feeds) in one place, so people can browse their posts, or easily subscribe to those blogs themselves. I've done this by hand, and given that there are on average 6-7 interviews per show, I'm pretty sure I've missed a couple of folks out by accident.(Usual disclaimers apply: We didn't write the content of these blogs and we're not responsible for their content..but you'd figured that out already right?)
I've also found doing this a useful way for me to visualise our coverage. Are we getting a sufficiently wide range of blogs on the radio? Is the show taking the right direction. Just from this short sampling I can see that we have a bit of a deficit when it comes to UK Blogs, the podcasting coverage is a bit thin (though we've a couple of interviews on tape that will help redress this), and we could certainly do with more blogs in countries outside the anglophone world. What do you think? Take a look and drop me a note or leave a comment.
And what about the method here? Is Bloglines the right tool for this? Should we be using another tool instead to do this? Is there an automatic way of turning links into feeds to save me from this mechanical turk work.
UPDATE: Al from suggests del.icio.us for some good reasons. In the spirit of chuck it at the wall and see what sticks we'll give that a go too! More suggestions welcome.
