Variable iTunes Pricing
In April, soon after Apple gave labels the ability to set different prices for their songs on iTunes, every track on Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon was raised to $1.29.
Some music fans complained about these price increases, and many technology executives and bloggers proclaimed that labels were making the wrong move. But while sales of individual tracks from Dark Side of the Moon dipped by 11%, album sales remained steady. And all sales combined generated about 12% more revenue in the six weeks after iTunes implemented variable pricing than they did in the six weeks before that.

Understanding the Podcast Audience
One in four Americans have downloaded and watched or listened to an audio or video podcast, according to a new study presented online last week by Tom Webster of Edison Research and the Association for Downloadable Media. Awareness of podcasting is up - from 37% to 43% - and Webster says that means it's mainstream.
In this 4th annual study of Podcasts, Arbitron Edison found that Internet and broadband access are widespread, a factor thats contributing to increased consumption of podcasts. Defining podcasts as audio or video digital files, the study makes the distinction that podcasting refers to the download of program-oriented online audio-video such as talk shows or hosted music programs, usually as an automatic download that can be listened to at the user's convenience. It does not refer to the download of songs or mp3 files.

Secure Podcasts
One of the things which are pretty crucial when you do internal podcasting and deal with sensitive information is the security level you implement in order to protect the sensitive information from unwanted eyes. In the early days when we implemented one of our first podcast series for a pharma company we were shocked to realize that all podcasts showed up in regular podcatch sites such as Odeo. Especially embarassing when Corporate Communications found out about it. Not good.

With all the vast amounts of information available on the web, it is becoming more and more difficult to sort through and find what you are looking for. RSS significantly lowers the signal-to-noise ratio. RSS has the unique ability to compile information and filter it, so you only see unique and relevant content. The information superhighway has become packed with content, and those familiar with technology are using RSS to filter the content, allowing them to drill down and access only the content they want, without having to wade through all the noise.
