Loudblog: Blogging app just for podcasts
by Jordan Running Jul 14th 2005 at 4:52PM
Loudblog is a blogging app like Wordpress or Movable Type, but tailored specifically for podcasting. As blogging apps go, it's pretty vanilla, with only the basic features: posting, editing, comments, templates, and a few others. But what Loudblog is really good at is uploading and managing your podcasts and publishing a basic blog and RSS feed to go with them. The latest version, Loudblog 0.3, features support for the new RSS tags Apple added in iTunes 4.9.
Loudblog lacks support for trackbacks, which the developers are dismissive of, but I think it's a mistake. Other than that, though, it looks like a great open source tool for the serious-podcaster-but-casual-blogger.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts.

While I would say yes to this on ever other blogging plattform, I did not miss it on loudblog (we use it for sushiradio.com). Why? Mainly because most of the listeners of podcast perhaps write an email or sometimes a comment. It is very unlikely for many listener to write about it on their own blogs - because very often they don't even have one.
For me, loudblog is the perfect application when you want to do just a podcast (and a little blogging for the tools around it). If you are a more serious blogger you will be unhappy with many other 'lacking' features and go for a full bloated blog solution - which also hacks in the podcast feeds the way you like them. :)
