Podcasting

Podimo er gået i luften

Med min­dre du har lev­et under en sten (eller bare haft virke­lig travlt) har du nok set, at den nye pod­cast-app/-plat­form Podi­mo gik lige i ugens løb.

Jour­nal­is­ten spurgte Tav Klit­gaard fra Zet­land og mig om vores umid­del­bare indtryk:

Og der er blevet sagt og skrevet meget om Podi­mo rundt omkring. Tjek blot en Twit­ter-søgn­ing på navnet.

Podimo fjerner JP-podcasts

Medi­aWatch:
"'Redak­tøren på Jyl­lands-Posten skrev til mig i går, og jeg svarede og beklagede, at vi var kom­met til at lægge deres ind­hold på tjen­esten. Vi havde heller ikke taget Poli­tikens ind­hold, for­di vi ikke havde lavet en aftale med JP/Politikens hus. Så det var en fejl fra vores side, at Jyl­lands-Postens var kom­met med,' siger Morten Strunge, som håber og for­ven­ter, at der vil komme en aftale på plads med mediehuset."

SEIN start­ede i sin tid, for­di der var brug for et medie, hvor vi unge kunne komme til orde på en anderledes og menings­fuld måde. Det var vi heldigvis ikke ene om at synes, og i dag er vi vok­set utroligt meget.

Sec­ond, what hap­pens when an idea born in the lab needs to be devel­oped fur­ther? Maybe the project will go back into the core busi­ness, or get passed on to an accel­er­a­tor — it doesn’t nec­es­sar­i­ly mat­ter as long as every­one knows the process. Third, how will you staff the lab? The best R&D hubs have both new tal­ent from out­side the com­pa­ny and insid­ers who know how the firm works.
