I’d actually pay the $ .99 or more to download each dose on itunes, so sell.” He also suggested Asheville in brand2brand combat, because “people on the west coast don’t know anything about it.” It’s our little secret down here…. Ryan Hodges,from New Haven, CT, says “I’ve been listening to your shows all week trying to get caught up. Today I’ll listen to #10 while commuting home from work. Your show is the best podcast I’ve listened to so far. Keep up the work!” Thanks for the props! Austin Moody votes for 2006 and says “This will be the year that Web 2.0 will implode leaving only the decent applications and a lot of now unused domain names.” Ryan Thiessen voted for 2006 but admits, “We had alot of great stuff in 2005… podcasts, video podcasts, video downloads from iTunes.. and in the video market, High Def Video cameras hit the consumer level. In 2006 I’m hoping we’ll see higher quality video/audio recording tools for lower costs and new ways to share the media on the net. Whether it’s through iTunes or other mediums. And, with any luck 2006 will see the release of the film Five Across The Eyes.” Tatiana says 2006 will be better. “I think the forces of consumer-driven on-demand qualified-info revolution combined with the Best Brand of 2005’s momentum will create even better conditions for podcasting and the continuing evolution of the net.” And she’s all about Apple being brand of the year.
