#2 Community Podcasting

by holotone

Create a system where any member of the PodTech.net community can submit a short podcasting &uot;segment&uot;, covering any topic they wish. The submitter can then tag the podcost with as many keywords as he / she would like. The podcast is then added to the pool.

The rest of the community then listen to the new podcasts coming in based on their interests, at their leisure. This community reviewer has the ability to add other tags that they feel are relevant to the podcast, as well as rate it up or down. As the podcast is filtered through user after user, it develops a &uot;value&uot; based on the reviewers vote, as well as an incredibly refined tag base for easy sorting.

Now, back on the listener-side / front end, I go to PodTech.net and select a tag (or even conjoin multiple tags) of topics I am interested in, and select a quality threshold - For example, I tell PodTech that I would like to listen to all podcasts with the tags linux + music + weirdnews, with a quality ranking of +25 or above, and limit the result to either 10 segments or 30 minutes, whichever is greater.

Here's where the magic happens - PodTech's backend software retrieves the relevant segments, stitches them together (using thier own signature transitions in between segments to maintain continuity, branding, and familiarity), and spits out a download link for my &uot;personalized&uot; podcast, complete with an optional RSS feed that regenerates a podcast with my settings every week.

Complicated & expensive? Sure. Possible? Absolutely.

Entertainment value? Through the freaking rooof.
