The LIVE webcam caught this picture as I was recording Mortgages Made Simple with Rick Gundzik this week. It is amazing what the webcam catches when it fires ever 30 seconds.
Sometimes podcasting is way too much fun!

IBM Consumer Study: Internet Rivals TV as Primary Media Source – Media Buyer Planner
While I have seen a lot of anecdotal information regarding this trend, it is always good to see some harder figures.
Much as I said in an earlier post on podcast parity, this paragraph seems to validate my thinking…
“TV and the internet are now essentially on an equal footing as entertainment sources, with consumers turning to online destinations like YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, games, or mobile entertainment.”

Audiences have more control and are increasingly savvier about filtering marketing messages, with serious repercussions for marketers, ad agencies, broadcasters, publishers and cable companies, according to a new IBM survey of consumer digital media and entertainment habits, reports MarketingCharts.

Elsewhere Online: Why Create Personal Media from ChrisBrogan.com
Here is an excellent blog post by Chris Brogan on the “why” of podcasting and new media. I find myself trying to explain this to many people every day and Chris has some great points to share.
What compels someone to blog daily? Why should one pick up a microphone and record themselves or others for hours at a time? Who are these people who turn their cameras backwards and film themselves? And why should YOU create personal media? Understanding that the readers of [chrisbrogan.com] are mostly already in this camp, maybe I’m just reinforcing the point. But then again, perhaps you know someone who’s questioning why they should bother creating media in some form or another, and maybe this will help them understand better what they can accomplish.

This course covers the current state of this new medium; the basics of writing for it; and strategies for publicizing your podcast and expanding your readers, viewers, and listeners. Guest speakers available via audio and video podcast interviews, live interactive podcasts, and video conferences introduce you to the variety of ways you can use the medium. The course goal is to develop your own podcast based on individual professional or personal needs, interests, and goals. For technical requirements click here. Enrollment limited to 18 students. Additional technical requirements: Students need a recording device with microphone that is compatible with their computer; built-in microphones on laptops are acceptable.

Paid gigs in podcasting? Here’s one from Craigslist…
I have no ideas how much these folks are offering, but only a little searching turned up this hit and many others. I also know one podcaster personally who parlayed his own podcast into a production job for a major entertainment company.
There are careers and money out there to be made.
