I think it stimulated a lot of thought and discussion. I did have people contacting me afterwards, saying how they agreed with most of what I had said. The problem is that they don't know how to change things. Thanks, Joyce. I think it stimulated a lot of thought and discussion.

A synching option for Zotero would be really useful. I've not come across refbase before but will have a look at it. Thanks for this, Matt. A synching option for Zotero would be really useful.

My research group uses <a href="http://refbase.net" rel="nofollow">refbase</a> as a web-based lit. database & we've found it easy to use with Zotero. Zotero is planning to have online syncing.

Glad you had fun making yours. I still listen to podcasts too and I think that there are plenty of interesting people out there putting together some great shows. Glad you had fun making yours.

Recently in one of my classes I had to work with a friend to make a podcast using Garageband. We only had to make an audio podcast, but we ended making it enhanced and I thought it was a lot of fun. Sure sometimes I wanted to smash my iBook off the floor, but it happens. Before we actually had to do our own podcasts we had to go listen to others through the iTunes Store. There are millions out there and they still have millions of listeners. I know some people who still download daily podcasts and listen to them more than regular radio. Yes, I would agree that podcasting's popularity has slowed down from it's 2005 peak, but I don't think it has died yet. Maybe it will make a big comeback someday.

I wonder if it is the subscription model and concept that is the difficulty. I'm still struggling to decide how to organise my feeds and at the moment by blog / news (text based) feeds sit elsewhere from my audio / video feeds. And I have to say navigating podcasts and finding stuff in iTunes is a nightmare!!!
