Evan Williams, late of Google and Blogger, is at it again, with a podcasting service called Odeo.
Here’s the blog about the service, and his own post on the story behind Odeo. And here’s the NYT coverage (reg required).
From that:
The primarily amateur Internet audio medium known as podcasting will take a small, hopeful step on Friday toward becoming the commercial Web’s next big thing.
That step is planned by Odeo, a five-person start-up that is based in a walk-up apartment in this city’s Mission District and was co-founded by a Google alumnus. The company plans to introduce a Web-based system that is aimed at making a business of podcasting – the process of creating, finding, organizing and listening to digital audio files that range from living-room ramblings to BBC newscasts.
