  Who Says Podcasting is Still New?!? How do you measure the age of an industry?

Podcasting is Barely a year old; in most peoples books that means it is still relatively new.

But what if we don't use age as the yard stick by which we measure Podcasting.

Say for instance, we use acceptance. Podcasting has gone further in a year, than many technologies do in three or five. It is becoming more accepted by the mainstream every day. Surely this means that Podcasting is no longer 'new'.

Here's another for you...

I was browsing around for some information about the Katrina Aftermath and came across a U.S. Department of Commerce site -read Government Site- (The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration or NOAA).

This site is offering a Podcast to keep people updated on the goings-on in the disaster area. Yes, the U.S. Government (or at least a branch of it), has embraced Podcasting!

So, if you are new to Podcasting and think you are getting in on the edge of a new phenomenon...

Well, think again. Because if you are behind a government agency when jumping on board something... you are not on the cutting edge.

Ergo, I argue that Podcasting is no longer 'new tech' and has become well-established and well-accepted.

Long Live the Cast.
