Podcasting- the next type of media. All it is is a homemade audio file with an rss link, whats so innovative about that? Apples itunes helped that out, by making it mainstream and encouraging many more non-techy people to create their own podcasts. My favorite podcasts are twit, diggnation, and dl.tv. These are all tech, and have the best of the best on them. Ask a Ninja is also pretty good, but there are so many of them, and the easiest way to find them is just to go into the podcasting section of itunes.
These shows are now able to make money, and looks like it'll be profitable for months and maybe years to come. This is all possible because of the Comcast takeover of tech tv. They fired many of the good hosts and changed the format to crappy shows about games, and games only. Leo Laporte, Kevin Rose, and many others got pissed/kicked off (or later quit). This led to them wanting to start venturing into podcasting and creating great shows, because what else do they have to do with their free time (besides digg). Podcasting is a great new alternative to TV, and I can't wait to see more improvements in this great use of technology
