Ah, forgot to say they acquired podcast alley, not the pickle. Wonder why Adam
and his crew decided to do that? They're probably dealing with that more so
than the nodes thing right now, but think the disabilities node is a good idea
they will hopefully get to.

Brent,
Podcast Pickle and Podcast Alley = different directories.

I think Podshow is or did acquire podcast alley. I'd assume they would
consolidate the directory in time, it would make sense if they did acquire it.

Greetings,
All the comments about the Disability node for iPodder are very
interesting, and have given me several things to think about. I'm still
committed to advocacy on this front. Next step is to resend my note to Mr.
Curry, as an open letter, which will allow me to publish it around the
podcasting community, I wanted to let you know, though, that there is a
directory that does include a Disabilities category. That would be <a href="
http://www.podcastpickle.com";>Podcast Pickle</a>. Not many shows in that
subcategory yet. It would be great if podcast producers on this list who want
to identify their shows as disability-oriented would begin to get listed on the
Pickle. You could even list yourself and use "blindness" as a keyword but not
list yourself in the Disabilities category. On the Pickle, you get to pick two
categories, plus you create your own sets of keywords. Adding your cast to the
Pickle would help your own visibility and would add to the credibility of the
Pickle directory as it positions itself in the directory sphere. They already
has a number of great features, including search, and the ability to create a
favorites list that others can browse. You can also play podcasts directly from
each podcaster's page. The Disabilities subcategory on Podcast Pickle is within
the Society top-level category. By the way, I own no stock in the Pickle. What
I like about it is that competition with Podcast Alley and, to a lesser extent,
IndiePodder, has caused the Pickle to be very innovative and responsive to its
users.
