Odeo was founded by Evan Williams the founder of Blogger and so Odeo claims to be what Blogger is for Weblogs. The Podcasting Client Syncr. makes it easy. After subscribing you are able to download the Synchr, a program which operates in the background of your computer. Now you can similarly to your RSS-textfeeds subscribe to all kinds of RSS-feeds for listening.

“Great” you may scream, now I can download it to my iPod! And a  mix of iPod and broadcasting is what? Podcasting! Others may rather talk about “Private On Demand & Categorized Audio Speech Tracks”.

How ever you call it, it’s fun to use and a good way to cope with the exploding masses of media arising every day in the web. No wonder that dozens of services came up with the same idea most of all iTunes the services for the iPod. Here is a list of more services:

• Doppler

• Juice (former iPodder)

• Newzcrawler

• List for more…

But Odeo goes a little further than just downloading all the pods you subscribed to. Odeo contains also real social software features witch make a very interesting web2.0 company. With Odeo Studios you can also upload your mp3 files and share them with others. You can create your own channel and fill it with life.

So Odeo is what Bloglines is for your Text-News. As in the textsphere there is a lot of jibberish on stock but also some very interesting stuff between the lines. I read somewhere that there is more professional content than user generated content. This really makes it worth a glance.
