A couple of my favorite podcast shows are stopping their live versions because of a business decision that TalkShoe had to make to protect their investors. At least that is what TalkShoe said on an article posted on their blog, I tried to understand their decision and even my own conclusion was surprising to myself.

How to know the right price? There is no guide for bloggers and/or podcasters to follow as the industry we are in is so new. A month ego a blogger/podcaster exchange a day of advertising to any company that send him an iPhone, and he certainly got not only one but more than one. We are not going to discuss whether this approach is good or bad, but the implication of selling time and space for advertising on your blog. Immediately some other bloggers/podcasters criticized him for taking this position stating that he was selling himself short.
I’m not going into names because the main point that I want to bring is to how you value your time, effort, blog, etc. Let’s say that you are selling your business and let’s imagine that you are a business owner that for health reasons you have to sell your business. It is you and only you the one that can determine the value of your business and this is a very important part of business decision.

In December 30, 2005, I bought what was my first Macintosh computer, a Mac mini. Immediately I started playing with every single piece of software and while playing with iTunes I discovered podcasting. From that, I learned what a blogger is, and so on. That sparked my interest and 3 months later; I bought my first web address. That was when LuMen Creative Group was created; by the way, LuMen comes from my name Luis Menendez. I try out like four different blogging engines, including iWeb. Never happy with all that Adam Christianson from The MacCast talked to me about Wordpress, and here we are today.
I consider myself a media enthusiast, wherever is a piece of news about tech, you can find me reading and learning. Passing the knowledge to other is just a way of paying it forward, whenever I can help anyone that makes me feel good, as if I’m doing my part. That is the sense of community all podcaster and blogger have, well most of us. I’m planning a podcast but starting is one of the hardest things about it. Look forward to it, it will be center on Tech, not only Mac news, but PC too, after all this is a Windows world.

So I’ve been hearing a lot lately that many people don’t know what podcast is, so if anyone types on Google “What is Podcast”, I want to give my two cents of the story. This is not about how to podcast but about what is a podcast, a concept that everyone in podcasting knows for sure and current listeners understand. For new listeners, here is the breakdown; a podcast is like a radio show. Unlike a radio show, you control when you listen to it, you can pause it, and you can follow your favorites shows by subscribing to their show feed.
Talking about feed, I’ve also heard some people asking what is a feed. Here is a short, short explanation, a website feed or podcast feed is some code that allows you to subscribe to a show or blog or any other web source using a reader. And, a reader could be a web based or software based for your computer, and it allows you to manage your feeds subscriptions.
