PodOmatic Brings Podcast Creation and More to the Masses

Dateline: 10/04/05

By Corey Deitz, About.com

PodOmatic.com has launched a podcasting portal where users can create, mix, host, search, share, and podcatch podcasts and mp3s.

PodOmatic provides ready-made music “beds”, or templates, for users who do not have the required audio functionality readily available or have limited experience with audio creation software.

These beds facilitate podcast creation for even the very beginners. Podcasters can mix audio directly on the podOmatic Web site – no downloading of audio files is required, and there is no charge to do so.

"At PodOmatic we want make podcasting accessible and free for everyone,” said Johnny Mansour, co-founder of podOmatic.com. “Since day one our focus has been to make it as simple as possible for users to create, manage and share podcasts.”

PodOmatic created podMail - a feature that incorporates flash recording, web mail and an mp3 player - allowing users to send and receive audio files to their portable audio devices via the podOmatic Web site.

Users can mix, record or upload an mp3 and send it directly into another user’s mp3 player, and can personalize the message by mixing music and voice recordings.

“There are limitless possibilities to how you can use podMail,” continued Mansour. “Professors can easily share lectures with their students, project managers can share meeting information with team members nine time zones away, party-goers can listen to club announcements, and a soldier stationed in Iraq can hear his children sing ‘happy birthday’ to him.”

PodOmatic.com also offers a “podcatcher” or search feature called podAmigo, that captures and stores a user’s favorite podcasts.

PodAmigo supports both Windows and Mac, works with both iTunes and Windows Media, and offers one-click subscriptions, as well as the popular BitTorrent technology.

The podAmigo search function complements podMail, delivering content to a user’s media player. Users can create personalized, daily playlists and podcasts, or “daycasts™” via the podMail and podAmigo features.

PodOmatic lets users create daycasts™ containing the latest news, sports results, entertainment, etc. of the day.
