I was honored to join the conversation yesterday for the latest Talis Library 2.0 Gang podcast, this one on folksonomies and tags. The MP3 is already posted and, as usual, it makes me wonder if I really sound like that. Still, listen to the other participants, they had some great things to say and made [...]

Gizmodo pointed out these USB and FireWire podcasting kits from Alesis.

The package gets you a (hopefully not sucky) microphone with desktop stand, headphones, a carrying case, podcast production software, Cubase LE recording and editing software, and a digital mixer that plugs directly into the computer via USB or FireWire (duh). The US$400 USB version does two channels of 16bit/44.1 KHz audio while the US$600 FireWire model cranks eight channels of 24bit/48KHz sound.

Thanks go to Jenny for the link to the They Might Be Giants podcast!
And all that brings up something I was too lazy to figure out before. Interestingly, it became an issue now only because I was also too lazy to look for the TMBG podcast in the iTunes podcast directory. It turned out to [...]

Ken forwarded me this podcast of Robert Cialdini speaking on his Six Weapons of Influence, which he lists as

Reciprocation
Commitment and consistency
Social proof
Authority
Liking
Scarcity

Cialdini’s book is in its fourth edition, and has apparently been adopted as a text for more than a few classes and the concepts have worked their way into everybody’s marketing seminars. Motivation speaker [...]
