I just found these sets of great sites - which are having podcasts on bipolar disorder.

Well, the search started as I wanted or had an idea of making my own or shared podcasts. I miss support groups - there are none in Bombay for Bipolar atleast to my lnowledge! Just made a search to see if people are doing it. And Happy to say ‘yes’! I found two sites.

If you are not familiar with term podcast - do let me know.

In short its like a magazine/ radio show and you get a episode whenever there is a latest episode. Of course - you can download the mp3 directly from the website or subscribe as a show in iTunes.

Coming to the point - I would love start a podcast with people I know. And I would encourage to people to do (also indepently) I am mailing here to give a thought and whether they would like to join me. (gives me more motivation!)

The sites, I would recommend that you mail it to people you know and share it in the support groups. Somehow, i find the audio medium better! And helps to carry it around in your mp3 player!

These podcasts also come in video - so, you or I can carry in the new video (iPods )

Take care

The mechanics of Blogosphere - “free production model” - thats Gen Z

John Furrier on New Platforms, New Economies and New Realities - lovely Podcast. I am sure lot of you will appreciate this. Quoting some words around 15 mins into the podcast:

This is an example of word of mouth distribution scenario that we paid no cost for has no PR firm no press release but yet it took off like crazy … my earlier comment about RSS - a world of relationships is being formed right now and thats really the new model - so the network of relationships (word of mouth relationships) are forming.

The bloggers are linking to one another, and creating credibility and influence relationships. Whats interesting is they are high velocity networks, highly efficient and super targetted.

So, the word can travel around super fast around the internet and it can impact everything from events to movies to entertainment to conversations.

TCP/IP -> HTTP -> RSS => Global Universal Access, subscriptions, Access and Choice.

I am enforcing some discipline in myself - as my health needs it. I cannot afford to have behaviour that encourages short attention and I am anyway slightly bored with the happenings of the blogosphere.

Off late - I have bee noticing I am writing more and reading less. As of today my number of feed I read have been cut down to 40. I have made a resolution to keep the number below 42 - the answer to Life, Universe and Everything

Will give a list soon - but the broad categories are: Mobility, Cool, Monitor, News, Other, People, Private and Tech.
