Just to pick up on what James has said about Podato, the idea may be totally amazing concept but it’s an open source idea, we use free tools for the whole process, wordpress, blogsome, gmail, amr to wav converter and finally a wav to MP3 converter for the full podcasting experience.

I was recently pointed to the Guardians Soulmates website and informed that they have added the option for singles to record a voice clip for people to listen to them as they read through their profile. This is a great addition, but doesn’t include any RSS feeds.

The problem with these and other sites is in the cost. They may say:

Becoming a member is quick, easy and free.

But what they really mean is “Sign-up, fill out 5 pages of a profile as detailed as possible, receive email confirmation, log-in and realise you need to pay-up to send anyone a message… rates start at nearly £17 for just one month, a year costs a massive £95 pounds, the Irish sites aren’t much better value.

Podato is free and will remain so, why pay to meet someone (that’s illegal in the real world). Just give ‘Podato A Go’ and see where you can go from there… for free.

Today I decided to sign-up for Apple Store Associate Program, just to add some ads to the site (what site is complete without them) and not to make money. I spent 15 minutes filling out my details and was waiting for confimation which I just received. I was turned down for one of these reasons.

Maybe it’s because of the Sony Minidiscs in the image above or the Nokia Mobile or because I don’t have an iMac?
