Rabble is reporting in his blog
that ODEO has
launched!
I’ve been eagerly anticipating ODEO since I first heard about them in
the beginning of this year. Unfortunately, my invite hasn’t arrived yet
so I can’t say much more about them, but thankfully Phillip Torrone has
posted an excellent
review
with screenshots on the MAKE: Blog. Go
check it out. Update 2005-6-24: Either the folks at Odeo saw my blog
post, were reading my mind or finally got to me in the list of folks who
registered awhile ago because I got my invite yesterday! After playing
around with Odeo for a day-and-a-half now I have to say that the website
experience is fantastic (go Rails!) and
the ODEO Syncr for the Mac works well — though I’m slightly annoyed
since my iTunes consolidates my library automatically and ODEO leaves
copies in \~/Library/Application Support/Odeo/Downloads. Unfortunately
(or fortunately for you), ODEO’s Podcast Creation tool doesn’t seem to
be up yet. I haven’t seriously investigated any Podcast creation tools
just yet, though the tool that Adam Curry uses
for the DSC sounds interesting
(CastBlaster I think it’s called). Anyway, getting back to ODEO, I think
it’s a great tool and serves a definite need — though we’ll have to see
what happens once iTunes 4.9 comes out with its PodCasting support.
