The article I wrote about yesterday is out, it's in the Washington Post, and while the author doesn't credit Apple with inventing podcasting (good good) she does repeat a theme we've been hearing more and more -- that mainstream media is over-taking the founders of the medium. A premature conclusion. Apple certainly is tilting the table in their favor, but what if, for the sake of argument, MSN, which has even more flow than iTunes, were to go the other way? Or Yahoo? Or CNN? The fact that Apple is moving so deliberately in one direction suggests that a competitor may take advantage of that, or realizing that they're leaving a lot of turf uncovered, Apple may, in Month 2 or Month 3, tilt in the other direction. If you study the history of technology, you'll see this is how it often goes. The press tends to see things in terms of corporate size, and very short term effects, but the market moves according to its own logic, at its own pace, if it didn't there never would be new products, like podcasting, for example.
