I may be behind the times, but over the past 6 months I have seen more information concerning Pod Casting.  I have read a little on it, but admit that I am very lacking in my knowledge of this concept.  There is a lot of information out there on how to get started, but I would really like to hear from someone out there that is using this successfully and not trying to sell me something.

In my area Charlottesville, Virginia I do not personally know anyone that is working with this technology.  Maybe there is and it works so well that the users want to keep it secret.

So if you have been using Pod Casting please cast a little light on the subject for me.  I would love to hear a few success stories with specifics on how many new clients you have acquired using this method.

Thank you for your help.

Well so far it looks like we are the only ones interested in this.....or it could have something to do with the holidays.  I am going to submit again and see what happens.

HI Dave  - Sorry for the formatting below - I researched this in June and did several mail/chats with Ryan concerning this - you might want to contact him if you have more questions.

------------------

Yep, your release schedule can be however often you wish. You can release new property podcasts daily, weekly, monthly, whatever you choose.   Once we develop a podcast and put it on your site and out in the public, users can click one button and subscribe to your podcast free, then whenever you put out a new podcast (daily, weekly, etc..)   Anyone who subscribed to the podcast will automatically receive your updates of the new videos. It is like a direct link to interested buyers. While we dont receive email information from them, we do have a direct way to process them new videos.   Think of it as someone who is interested in buying a home, and wants to see everything you have to offer as soon as it comes out over a 2-3 month period. This would send them your new updates (video listings) as soon as you wanted them released.   Let me know if this helps clarify.....Feel free to ask anything else....Or if you want to speak verbally I would be happy to...     Ryan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Decker" mailto:%3Crdecker@mindspring.com%3E To: "Ryan M.
