Podcasting needs no eBay: [Updated] I’ve already said why I think podcasting has succeeded in 140 days. I’m Quote: Odeo plans to base its business on the premise that the explosion of
digital audio content has created the need for a central place to find relevant material and that there will also be a need for a market to buy and sell “premium” content in much the style of the eBay online marketplace.
