These days just about everyone around the internet knows about lifestreaming and may even have one of their own. This is due to the great growth and expansion of services like FriendFeed and Socialthing!
Previously, MakeUseOf covered the top 5 lifestreaming services. One thing about most lifestreaming services is that they can’t be self-hosted. You might be able to put a little widget in your sidebar or post it on your MySpace page, but there isn’t really a custom solution for you to host your own lifestream.
Here you go folks, yet another makeuseof list, this one on podcasts. To be more precise, it’s about podcast directories.. the better ones. Not only do these aggregate, list and organize thousands of podcasts but also provide you with a handful of features to listen, store, discover, download and subscribe to your favorite shows.
What are podcasts ?: In case you didn’t know, podcasts are basically web-based audio (sometimes video) shows, you may think of them as audio/video blogs. Usually you can listen to them online, download desired episodes to your PC and even subscribe to shows you like. It can be a weekly tech show, language course, or weekly wrap-up of best stories on Digg.
