There is a new print magazine called Blogger & Podcaster Magazine. This is the first print trade magazine for the industry. The magazine’s website is located at bloggerandpodcaster.com. The magazine also has a blog located here. Joe Wikert has a good interview with Larry Genkin, the magazine’s publisher, here. Robert Scoble is on the launch issue’s cover as you can see in the image on the right. The cover story is about video podcasting and Robert Scoble’s podcasting and vlogging efforts that include ScobleShow and PodTech. Scoble mentioned gracing the cover here in a post on his blog. TWiT’s Leo Laporte is also in the issue in a feature called “10 Questions with Leo Laporte.” It is tough to remain timely in a monthly print magazine covering any topic these days. That is especially true in an industry like blogging. However, the articles in the debut issue do cover current events like the recent blogging and vlogging awards and the explosion of Twitter at the SXSW conference. The articles in the launch issue seem slanted a little more heavily at the podcasting and vlogging trade. That might make sense from a publishing perspective because producing audio and video requires more equipment and startup costs than text blogging so there might be more advertising potential. There are full page ads in the debut issue for Kiptronic, Podango, BlogWorld, IBNMA, Podcast Pickle, BlogTalkRadio and Podcasting & New Media Expo. A couple podcasters here and here pointed out that there was just one female blogger/podcaster profiled in the first issue. That’s something that will need to be fixed in future issues. You can read some other comments and reviews from bloggers and podcasters here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here. A one year subscription to Blogger & Podcaster costs $79 per year for U.S. residents and $99 for non U.S. residents. The entire magazine can also be read online free here using ActiveMagazine software from Olive Software. Permalink | Recent Headlines | WWFeeds.com

MySpace Block of Photobucket Videos Ends
Mashable is reporting that MySpace’s blockage of Photobucket’s videos has ended. Aww, ain’t that sweet - Photobucket and MySpace have gotten together and sorted out their problems. Video embeds are working once more on MySpace pages, and I’m sure Photobucket will be much more careful in future when it comes to rolling out sponsored content. In fact, they’ve put out what amounts to an apology to MySpace - very strange for a company that was hell-bent on dragging them over the coals: Moving forward, we’ve established open lines of communication and procedures with MySpace to prevent a sudden block of Photobucket content in future. We want our users to be able to share their content and understand it must be within the framework of MySpace’s Terms of Service for it to appear on the site. What was interesting about the blockage was that it followed some words by Photobucket CEO Alex Welch that suggested Photobucket was invulnerable to people changing from one social network to another. This emerging battle of widgets, videos and social networks is only going to intensify over time. Posted in Videos Permalink | Recent Headlines | WWFeeds.com
