Fantastic card-trick rendition of the aristocrats joke I just found on youtube 🙂

Cameron Reilly CEO of The Podcast Network and friendly neighborhood blogger is currently auctioning off advertising slots in his podcasts on ebay.

Now for those of you who have been living under a rock for the past couple of years a podcast is an online audio/video show usually produced by independent enthusiasts and occasionally organised by a larger scale network.

The Podcast Network just so happens to be the largest independent producer of these wonderful little audio programs which you can download to your computer, ipod or other non-apple-associated-digital-media-listening-aid.

Now the major way in which podcasts differ from radio programs is that they tend to be aimed at a very narrow market, say people with a particular interest in PSPs, for example. If you happen to be selling a product which is of particular interest to a geek who has a PSP then the audience of such a podcast would be absolutely captivated by your product and there you have some highly effective marketing. Hooray!

The Podcast Network caters for a wide variety of people with very specific interests and whilst Cameron could give you a whole lot of statistics regarding numbers of listeners, the types of listeners he has etc I can personally say that I and I am sure many others have a keen interest in what he and the podcasts he produces have to say about the world so advertising with TPN is not a bad idea if you want to be on the cutting edge and appeal to an audience of enthusiastic types with a reasonable amount of disposable income.

Here is Cameron’s Audio promotion for the advertising space

Been a bit on the busy side lately which is unusual for me. I had my sister around last week which took up most of my time shopping and iceskating etc (its a hard life) so I’ve hardly been able to jump on the internet for more than a couple of minutes at the time and definitely haven’t been able to get my head around a blog post.

I have my timetable for next semester sorted which is good and I go back to uni in a week which is fantastic.

I hate holidays.

…I happened across Rockstar Supernova tonight. Generally I was surprised by the quality of the talent but I just about wet my pants when I heard Dilana. She has an amazing gravelly voice and an intense stage presence which captures and enthralls you and makes you almost afraid to look away.

I am an instant fan and given I spend most of my time bitching about the complete lack of talent displayed by most famous female singers this is a big deal for me.

Check out her performance here, but trust me, the itty bitty screen (and my speakers) don’t do her justice.

Holy fuck am I impressed! I mean for fucks sake she got a standing ovation from Dave Navarro and rendered Tommy Lee speechless!

And just so you know I’ve been singing since I was 14 months old and have performed professionally so I’m not just some couch expert either.

Wow!

Ok I’m probably scaring people now so I’ll shut up 🙂

Edit: its now on YouTube 🙂
