I, for one, am hoping he makes good on his threats to make a podcasting app. This space desperately needs some innovation and a solid bare-bones app to help facilitate the podcasting sector's growth.
- smackfu 13y agoI don't know how a new podcasting app would work in today's market. It would be competing against entrenched products on the high-end side, and a free offering from Apple on the low-end side. And it doesn't have any recurring revenue, which is not great.
- mmahemoff 13y agoThat's a bit like saying "search is done" before Google entered the market. I released a new podcast app a month ago and it's been doing well to date. Not to compare myself with the aforementioned :) Just saying that if you take the time to understand people's pain points and put a new spin on an old paradigm, there's still opportunity in any area. Also, who said a podcasting app can't have recurring revenue? TuneIn just raised $25M today and we can be sure it's not for 99 cent app sales. (Not exactly podcasting, but same ball park.)
