Just got the ping from Michael at TechCrunch that Yahoo has launched a new podcasting service—Yahoo Podcasts. In fact over at Podtech there is an exclusive podcast that has come out before the actual press release has been released by Yahoo!

 

Does this mean podcasting is mainstream?  More than iTunes supporting it, I'd say yes.  Not everyone wants iTunes or an iPod (I don't have iTunes or want an iPod).  Yahoo is universal.  Yahoo is Mac, PC, Most (maybe all) browsers.

 

More that some of the social portals (Yahoo 360, for example) I think this is a huge step forward.  I'm looking forward to reading (and listening) more about this tomorrow!
