Another day, another set of giveaways in honor of our Gift Guide. Today we have a Samson Go Mic – you know, for podcasting – and a pair of mittens with thumbs that pop off that the manufacturer is calling Mittenberrys but we’re calling a cute idea.
To enter, just pop over to the contest pages on our Gift Guide.
pickens writes “The EFF is reaching out for help after a company called Volomedia got the Patent Office to grant them exclusive rights to ‘a method for providing episodic media’ that could threaten the community of podcasters and millions of podcast listeners. ‘It’s a ridiculously broad patent, covering something that many folks have been doing for many years,’ writes Rebecca Jeschke. ‘Worse, it could create a whole new layer of ongoing costs for podcasters and their listeners.’ To bust this patent, EFF is looking for additional ‘prior art’ — evidence that the podcasting methods described in the patent were already in use (PDF) before November 19, 2003. ‘In particular, we’re looking for written descriptions of methods that allow a user to download pre-programmed episodic media like audio files or video files from a remote publisher, with the download occurring after the user subscribes to the episodes, and with the user continuing to automatically receive new episodes.’”

In February of this year, Adam Carolla, the former co-host of Loveline and The Man Show, was out of a job after his morning radio show, The Adam Carolla Show, was cancelled. Instead of wandering around waiting for his next gig though, Adam launched The Adam Carolla Podcast just three days after his cancellation.
The result? Over a million downloads in the first week, and it only grew from there. His show is now the most popular podcast on iTunes with millions of downloads every month.
His jump from the radio world to the social media world has been an interesting one, so were decided to sit down with Adam at the Blog World Expo in Las Vegas to see just how he built the show, what he thinks of social media, and…what his dating turn-ons are.
We hope you enjoy the interview. You may want to skip to about 3 minutes in if you want to skip Adam’s impromptu dating video (though it is hilarious). We covered a lot of different bases with the comedian:
