He, he, I couldn’t resist not to add this one. One more place to listen to your favourite podcast. iPod accesories gone wild. I might one for Christmas. It has 4 speakers. I’ll think about :)) Get yours now.

Here’s an interesting report called Doing Business in 2006: Creating Jobs, published by the World Bank. On the ease of doing business index, Canada ranks the 4th, after New Zealand, Singapore and United States (page 117).

Next generation of  podcasts are already here: the corporate podcats, IBM and Oracle being the pioneers. While there’s a whole explosion of home recorded shows, more or less professionally produced, the Big Blue has launched “IBM and the Future of…” series of  podcasts on key business and technology topics. I’ve only listened to couple of episodes so far but I can’t emphasize enough how much I’ve enjoyed them!

I find the listening experience a bit dry, but having great guests, with a wealth of knowledge on the subject, make the content really valuable. Topics covered: Future of TV, Work, Banking, etc… The length is quite right, 15 to 20 minutes.

One year down the line, it’ll be interesting to see who has a large audience? Dawn and Drew like home based shows or mainstream entertainment/technology produced podcasts. Keep listening :)
