To say he was blown away about the product was the understatement of the year. Needless to say we are very pleased with the clients reaction.

The RawVoice Generator Media Network Platform which drives ours and our customers podcast portals is a very powerful Podcast Publishing and Syndication Platform, especially when it is tied into our new media statistic service, and soon to be implemented “Podcast Advertising Campaign Management System”.

In final design now the PACMS, will be the first product we will not offer as a white label services due to it being an internal tool we will use with our media buyers, podcasters and the staff here at RawVoice to manage our growing Podcast Advertising Business..

We have added so many features to the RVG that the original video I did a couple of months ago on it’s feature set is now out of date. So in the next couple of days I am going to re-record the video spot.

What excites me the most is in August the RawVoice team made some strategic decisions that allows us to grow RawVoice as a company leveraging the RawVoice Generator Platform.

The team has worked very hard and we continue to be profitable and growth in all of our product lines is as expected. We look forward to continuing to push the bar forward.

Podcast audiences have branched out far beyond just geeks. And advertisers are starting to like them, too.

After having placed ads with Web sites and search engines, more advertisers are starting to spread their ad dollars to audio and video podcasts in an attempt to reach certain consumers.

In the last few years, amateur broadcasters known as podcasters have flooded the Internet with self-produced audio and video programs that discuss topics ranging from politics to sports…..

“Millions of people religiously download podcasts daily or weekly, in numbers too great for advertisers to ignore”, quotes one source. “We’re getting contacted every week by companies that say ‘I just found out about this online media stuff and we are thinking about putting some money in it.”

Podcast ad revenue represents a sliver of the multibillion-dollar online ad market. But U.S. ad dollars spent on audio and video podcasts are expected to jump to $435 million by 2012 from $165 million last year, says eMarketer.

“There is a pretty substantial growth curve ahead, and it’s been building slowly,” said eMarketer analyst Paul Verna.

Most podcasts are audio programs, though the number of video podcasts is rising.

Podcasts differ from other Web-based programs. People, for example, can watch a video on YouTube.com, but they can’t download it to play it on another computer or portable device without purchasing a specific software program, Verna says.

“The unique thing about podcasting is that people can take it and go and listen to it in their car during a 45-minute commute,” he said. “And as long as there is a captive audience, there is always going to be an ad market around it.”

Cheers to all of our podcast brethren for helping to establish podcast advertising with us: Podango, Wizzard Media, Podshow, Mevio, Podcast Pickle.

While the site has just come live we look forward to the team over their exercising the Generator. Check out the site and sample the great content they are producing.

It is also a commercial product that is available to companies and organizations looking to launch their own multi-media site. In reality the Generator is a full blown media and blogging publishing system that has social media components built from the ground up into a very powerful CMS

In the coming weeks I will be showing off the power of the RawVoice Generator and we will be highlighting some of our clients that are utilizing the service to drive their own social media sites. [RawVoice Generator Features]

The Subscribe Sidebar plugin creates a uniform list of the most common subscribe links with icons to display in a blog’s sidebar. The plugin may be added to the sidebar by either utilizing the dynamic widgets sidebar feature or adding a few lines of code to your theme’s sidebar template. Configurable options include links for RSS 2.0, Atom, Podpress podcast Feed, add to Google Reader/Homepage, add to My Yahoo, add to iTunes, add to Zune and follow on Twitter.

The plugin was inspired by our Subscribe & Share sidebar found in the RawVoice Generator‘s program pages. RawVoice CEO Todd Cochrane wanted the same easy to find and recongize functionality of the subscribe links found on our Blubrry, TechPodcasts and PodcasterNews properties for our WordPress blogs. My (Angelo’s) answer, the Subscribe Sidebar plugin.

Unlike our Subscribe & Share list found in the RawVoice Generator, the Subscribe Sidebar plugin does not contain any share links. If you are looking for a WordPress plugin that includes this functionality, please check out Alex King’s Share This plugin.

Please let us know if you have any code improvements, suggestions, comments or thoughts.

Built upon the latest version of the RawVoice Generator, the new PodcasterNews site now includes support for both audio and video podcasts, blogging and other social networking features. Along with the previous PodcasterNews features such as future episode scheduling, weblog pinging and integrated RawVoice Statistics, the new PodcasterNews is ready to forge the future of podcaster created news content.

The RawVoice Generator (RVG) is built from the ground up to support the creation of a podcasting network. The system supports iTunes RSS and pinging right out of the box. The RVG can also auto-generate ID3 tag info and file names so content publishers don’t need to do these things by hand every time they publish a show.

The RVG is available for license to organizations looking to build a podcast network or media based community without having to start coding from scratch. Feel free to contact us if you want to talk or see a more in depth demo of the system.

RawVoice has acquired the TechPodcasts Network, company officials announced today. The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

The TechPodcasts Network was founded in January 2005 and quickly became a popular niche community for technical-oriented podcasts. The Network features Slashdot Review, the Mike Tech Show, and other podcasts covering topics from programming in Linux to LCD monitor repair. The Tech Podcast Round Table, the Network’s showcase podcast, reaches over 30,000 viewers a month.

“This acquisition enhances what was already a strong connection,” said Jeevan Padiyar, CFO of RawVoice. “With the added features of RawVoice Generator, we’ll be able to do even more for the podcasters in the Network, and their listeners.”

The TechPodcast Network site is at www.techpodcasts.com.

The new site will launch today, with a new look and new features like social networking, show comments, and MyCast custom rss playlists. These functions are powered by the RawVoice Generator engine which also operates the PodcasterNews Network, PodcastPromos, and the Blubrry community.
All are RawVoice properties.

About RawVoice, Inc.

Since its founding in 2005, RawVoice has been turning the media eco-system upside down by listening from the roots. With its products, RawVoice helps independent content producers and enterprise networks to distribute, promote and monetize their shows. The Blubrry community is the flagship product of RawVoice and is powered by their proprietary RawVoice Generator platform.

They want to distribute media, but that’s not all. They want to create communities around the media and provide tools for their users to subscribe to content and connect with each other. And they also want room to expand without a ridiculous amount of effort.

These desires make perfect sense. After all, podcasting in itself doesn’t create a connection with the audience. You need to make things easy and provide tools to help audience members connect with shows and each other.

Our RawVoice Generator platform addresses these issues and more. Our platform helps to simplify workflow by creating automatic file names and writing ID3 tags based on configurable information.

The audience gets social network features like friend lists, comments, one-click subscription and subscription sharing. Podcasts are searchable via show notes and tags. Podcasts can either be created within the system or aggregated from existing RSS feeds.

And you needn’t worry about scalability. The RawVoice Generator can easily handle over a thousand podcast channels.

Want to see a demo? Just head over to our podcast community at Blubrry.com to have a look at the user facing features of the RawVoice Generator. We’ve got over a thousand podcasts in the Blubrry community and more are added everyday.

The back end admin provides even more features including ad survey management, detailed statistics and a variety of publishing options. If you need a solution for your podcast network or community you can always contact us to get a full demo of the system.

Our value proposition for the RawVoice generator is a very simple one. It works. It’s built for podcasting. And it’s backed up by a great team of passionate and knowledgeable people.
