It really is quick and easy to post things, but in my opinion it has the same problem mp3 player manufacturers have:<br><br>It's not enough if they make something as good as the iPod - to succeed they need to make something that's <em>better</em>. <br><br>As for the feedburner hack to get the enclosure tags - I do that now with AcademicAesthetic.com and I'm glad to find out it'll work with Tumblr. It's a shame that that level of geekiness is required to get it to work though, when services like vox.com do everything for you.<br><br>I guess maybe I was just looking for specific things, (like a quick and easy way to get non-geeks involved in podcasting that could replace Gcast) and got disappointed when I didn't find them.theartguyhttp://academicaesthetic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11995570.post-15550316003642180622009-04-30T17:01:43.000-04:002009-04-30T17:01:43.000-04:00I use tumblr for microblogging some stuff. http://...I use tumblr for microblogging some stuff. http://mizmercer.tumblr.com/ I like to use it for posting pics from more social events/stuff at conferences, and family pics. It is pretty darn easy to post stuff from my phone, and it's more organized that sending stuff to plurk or twitter. I don't look at it as a PLN tool, but a sort of scrapbook.Since I can x-post to plurk and twitter, it's not a one-or-another choice. I can see why it would not work for you and others, but I thought it would be nice to share why it works for me.Definitely a YMMV platform.A.

The only problem is that you're right and it doesn't create media enclosures. I'm hosting my podcast their now, but I lucked out because I also use feedburner which automatically creates enclosures.Dave LaMortehttp://www.teachingforthefuture.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11995570.post-9856059779831488692009-05-05T11:24:38.000-04:002009-05-05T11:24:38.000-04:00Thanks for the useful review!Thanks for the useful review!Linda Armstronghttp://youngpainters.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
