SCO Not Nominated in Podcast 2006 Awards

Controversial statement suitable for quoting: The 2006 Podcast Awards are now even less meaningful than the Miss America Pageant.

The 2006 Podcast Awards illustrates why popularity contests will not be meaningfull for podcasts, or video casts, or blogs, and I don’t envy the Todd and the Podcast Connect folks. Last year’s Podcast Awards was more like a Peer-Review Awards because you (as a listener) had at least heard of nearly all of the nominees! After last year’s awards show, no self-respecting podcaster could really argue against any of the winners.Now in 2006, there are too many podcasts and too few objective voters to even pretend that “number of votes” for a podcast correlates to “how much I should care” about a podcast.

I don’t mean that there should be fewer podcasts, or that the “podcasting space” is getting too crowded - I mean that the 2006 Podcast Awards contest is now meaningless.
