Thanks Fabricio! <br /><br />The second source of inspiration was Robert Scoble who posted an <a href="https://scobleizer.wordpress.com/2006/07/19/community-podcast-directory/">idea </a>and need for a Community Podcast Directory. I am not sure if this is what Robert had in mind, since he did not blog any particular user specifications, so I took developer freedom into play. <br /><br />As I mentioned, creating this application did not take much brain power on my part. Thanks to the brilliant folks at <a href="http://www.ning.com">Ning </a>who have created this cool playground full of social application building blocks. <a href="http://blog.ning.com/2006/06/a_chat_with_fabricio_zuardi_cr.html">Fabricio </a>created his app using the Ning framework, then I simply cloned it and made my desired modifications to the code. <br /><br />There is still work to be done on my part, but I need input from users. This is just a quick prototype that can illustrate the proof of concept and be further refined. <br /><br />So with all that said --- PLEASE add some content, opinions, ratings, and give me <a href="https://launchpad.net/products/podcastdir">feedback </a><a href="https://launchpad.net/products/podcastdir">and bug reports</a>. I would like to know what features you would like to see added to make this something people will really want to use.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31485296-115354669806409270?l=podcasthitsdir.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rob Moweryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17330534382178870570noreply@blogger.com0
