In a recent post on Mozilla's blog about the next roadmap for
Thunderbird development (the great Mozilla email client) a new
feature is appeared: Thunderbird will have built-in Podcasting features.
This sounds good for many Podcast fans but... Podcasting will be a real
phenomenon?
I don't believe a lot on Podcasting but maybe I'm wrong. Publishing sound
files online that a user must download via RSS and listen is not an immediate
way to have news and Podcasting can't substitute blogs. I think that reading is
a more appropriate and quick way to have news.
The next year will say us if Podcasting could be targeted as a real
"phenomenon"...
