Yahoo Unveils New Podcasting Service

There's a new podcasting service from Yahoo.

"The service -- at http://podcasts.yahoo.com/ -- will allow users to rate and review various shows. It also includes searching functions that allow users browse from a directory with tens of thousands of podcasts from across the Web."

I must say I really like this site. It seems to be better organized than the other podcast directories I tried. For me, they highlighted exactly the right channels. Right on the front page, I found a couple of interesting podcasts I would never have found otherwise.

Looks pretty good. I like the use of tags, which will hopefully tie in and be compatible with Technorati, del.icio.us, flickr, etc.

As an iPod/iTunes user, I don't see myself switching over any time soon, but the competition is welcome and will hopefully give Apple more reasons to add features and improve the iTunes podcasting experience.

I like browsing this directory. And if you click on the title you get an info page about the show, including the RSS feed. That's what I put into iPodder. I'm still not much of a podcast listener, though. So far, only as a diversion between audiobooks.
