Web broadcast god Leo Laporte, Lifehacker founder and awesome blogger / coder Gina Trapani, and Jeff Jarvis have teamed up for what has become my new favorite podcast after just 2 minutes.
This is the podcast I wish I had created.
This Week In Google 1: In Beta (54 minutes)
Hosts: Leo Laporte, Gina Trapani, and Jeff Jarvis Topics:
* Media Talk USA with Jeff Jarvis
* City university of New York Graduate School of Journalism
* Apple Blocks Official Google Voice App, Pulls GV Mobile from App Store
* How (and why) to replace the AP
* The John Henry fight of man v. algorithm
* Gina: Gmail Adds Custom SMTP Servers, Drops “On Behalf Of”
* Google asks, “Do you really want to drunk e-mail?”
* Gmail offline
* New in Labs: Canned Responses
* Microsoft Office 2010 Starts Ascension to the Cloud
* Google Wave still in its experimental stage
* Google Wave Developer Preview at Google I/O 2009
* The Pushbutton Web: Realtime Becomes Real
* pubsubhubbub
* Twitter clients could help with backup
* Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable
Simply fantastic.
I hope the level of quality stays this high (with Leo, Gina and Jeff behind the wheel, I’m sure it will).
Of course, there’s always material enough for a podcast focused on Google and their latest Willy Wonka creations that feed all of our web candy addictions.
