Podtech A Few Things That Need Adjustment

I listened to some great Podtech shows this morning by Jennifer Jones and Kamla Bhatt. There is no email contact information for either person on the site at this time. Especially considering Jennifer Jones runs one of the verticals on the top of the site this is surprising as I’d like to reach out to her.

On another front, I know sound volume normalization can be challenging, but some reasonable range should be a goal. Especially with the feature that starts to play a new podcast when you are done! I’d urge Robert Scoble and others at Podtech to try improve in this arena.

Lastly, I’m confused by some of the offerings on the about page. It states:

PodTech’s suite of morecasting™ services help companies reach targeted audiences of influencers and strengthen customer relationships.
PodTech delivers a complete package of customized social media services including:

  • Targeted audio and video podcast series
  • Event & tradeshow videocasts
  • Blogging campaigns

What exactly is meant by a “blogging campaigns”? Is this outsourcing and helping with other entities blogs? I think this is what they mean. But I could see where someone could read this as blogging campaigns on Podtech itself, which would just be PayPerPost. The page should be more clear about what this service is so that it is not misinterpreted!

Overall, Podtech is becoming a good resource, with these small changes it will become even better.

  1. Thanks David.

    You can reach Jennifer By leaving a comment on her podcast blog page ‘Marketing Voices’ she reads every single comment.

    I’ll be sure she sees this.

    As a Podtech employee, I can be reached anytime at jeremiah_owyang@yahoo.com. I’ll do my very best to respond to all podtech related question, or find the right person.

    Thanks for this feedback, this is good stuff.

  2. Jeremiah,

    Thank you for stopping by. I’m pleased you found the feedback useful and likely actionable as well!

  3. David, Thank you for your comments. I agree with you, and have high hopes that PodTech will implement a better means of contacting the hosts/producers. We have been so focused on our BlogHaus for CES and working it with Seagate that quite honestly we are like the “cobbler’s kids”
    we have not focused on our own site! I am told by marketing that it is the main focus for us after CES.
    Regarding the audio, we are going to do better there. I agree again! Plus since video is becoming more pervasive I am going to try video with some of my interviews, and have plans to video Guy Kawasaki for the show on January 15. If you have any questions you would like to ask him PLEASE send them to me!

    As with my colleague Jeremiah, I am MOST interested in hearing from people My email is Jennifer@podtech.net. Please contact me anytime.

  4. How’s that for listening to community?

    Two responses from Podtech within hours!

    🙂

  5. Oh yes, if only venture capital funding and recruters all always worked on Saturdays the productivity of the world would skyrocket!

  6. I too am impressed with the responsiveness of those Podtechers. Reputation management at its best but I’m left wondering what are the blogging camapigns they offer? I’d also like see some case studies from some of their offerings.
