Hi,

I am still around, haven’t vanished off the face of the earth.

I have been very busy with my other websites and that is taking up a fair bit of my online time at the moment.

I will be back to update this page soon, dont fear!

Podsafe Music Network, come on Mevio, WAKE UP!
Aug 2nd, 2008 by adminsteve

I have since it began operations a couple of years ago (eons in internet time) used the Mevio site Podsafe Music Network.

It allows me access to a huge library of new musical talent quickly and easily but every time I log on I get either sad or angry.

Why such emotion? Well what I see is one huge lost opportunity that does a disservice to the artists, podcasters and end users that visit the site.

It fails to deliver on so many levels it shouldnt even exist but just like Microsoft a few years back, there simply was nothing to better it, so it stayed at the top of the pile.

Well that surely doesnt cut it any longer does it?

Am I the only one that sees huge opportunity for the artists to connect with new audiences that will then purchase their music? Podcasters to feature and connect with bands and their communities as well as ways to obtain their tracks with even greater ease and finally end users to be able to interact with the music and the podcasters playing it in new and exiting ways?

This could all be done with only a little re-programming but it could also be done in a way that actually generates several good quality sustainable income streams for the site.

I am surely not the only one that wants to see this site continue and in fact prosper in the world of new media that Mevio wants to play a big part in?

This site, unloved and maybe unwanted by Mevio is the one part of the company that could be profitable, popular and stand the test of time. Wake up Mevio, act to save this site, it could be the one thing that saves you once the venture capital dries up.

Podshow was centre stage at the dawn of the new media revolution, now where is it in relation to the Revision 3’s of the world?

WAKE UP MEVIO - Before its too late!!!!

Who knows the secret of the black magic box?

Black Box

Black Box

At some point we need to drop the old technology and move on up with the new otherwise we would all still be getting pulled by horses and feinting at speeds above 10mph. Its the only sensible thing to do.

With that in mind its about time we changed one bit of kit that has been around for a long time and is in desperate need of upgrading.

The infamous aircraft black box, Cockpit Voice Recorder or Flight Data Recorder.

This device holds the key to solving many in-flight problems, not just the fatal ones as the unit records systems and voice information during the flight.

How many people realise however that the unit often doesnt record the full flight and that recordings vary in terms of usefulness due to the amount of sensors sampled?

With the advent of flash memory its about time we had a basic upgrade to allow full flight voice recording, maybe even longer and when possible more full instrument recording.

As systems become digital with the ability to report their settings over a fast internatl network and storage becomes every cheaper, why would you not want to record as much as possible?

Take for instance the Quantas baggage hold explosion the other week. There is no record of the explosion on the voice recorder because it only records around 30 minutes of audio on a loop. So all they got was the plane landing in Manila, not a lot of use! a $40 USB recorder could record for 48 hours or more.

Time, me things, to move on!
