.pdf on an iPod – Is It Realistic?

32351115.jpgIn episode #32 of Marketing Online Live, Paul and I discussed the fact that podcasting isn′t just “audio,” especially now with the Video iPod.

This means that anyone who subscribes to our content can receive any type of media through the podcast channel.

iTunes has embraced this by setting up little icons for different media.

This is that audiences are expecting and deserve to be able to time and place shift.

#2: The more intimate the communication, the less the distraction.
