This morning Viticci asked himself if he was the only one thinking that podcasts where too long.
I am probably the last person to talk about podcasts: I don't like them much and I have no patience at all: 10 minutes for me are 10 minutes too long. The only one I listen to, at times, is BreviAccenni. I'm more of a reading person I guess.
Anyway, I agree with Viticci that podcasts should be shorter and more to the point. Then a Twitter friend, @linuz90 proposed something awesome, that could potentially make me love and listen to podcasts:
Non sarebbe male se i creatori dei podcast potessero taggare spezzoni delle loro puntate con un sistema simile alle keywords di Final Cut Pro X e inserire la suddivisione così creata direttamente nel feed.
This, translated in English, sounds something like this: it wouldn't be bad at all if Podcast's creators could tag pieces of their episodes in a way similar to Final Cut Pro's keywords so to insert the division created directly into the feed. He even went further and created a sweet mockup:
This is really a great proposal and this way I would be able to see which parts interest me and just listen to those. Plus, I would finally have an excuse to buy Instacast HD (I haven't bought it yet even if I WANT TO, because, logically, I can't justify the purchase of a podcast reader as I don't listen to podcasts).
