"A 2005 Times article by John Markoff about a new startup that aims to commercialize podcasting. Didn't happen."
The article is on Odeo. The people involved seem to have turned out all right. This is a joke?
- jluxenberg 16y agoI had the same reaction until I realized Odeo is down "until the first week of May": http://odeo.com/ http://odeo.com/ and it looks like the whole site is down, i.e.: http://odeo.com/channels/1844-2600-The-Hacker-Quarterly http://odeo.com/channels/1844-2600-The-Hacker-Quarterly
- portman 16y agoI'm not sure if you're joking or not but... Odeo turned into Twitter. Hence the comment "The people involved seemed to turn out alright".
- zach 16y agoYeah, that was a really curious choice considering that Odeo is now only notorious for being the startup that Ev Williams et al. abandoned (even refunding investors' money) to start Twitter. It's sort of like mentioning that Harrison Ford had an unremarkable carpentry career.
