Socially Speaking

There are a few things brewing at Waxxi. One of them, we can talk about here. Others will have to wait, just a while longer.

While we’ll continue our typical 30+ minute interactive podcasts with very interesting people, we’ll also begin a shorter version, called the Sweet Spot. The idea is micro-consumption: an interesting snapshot of cool, smart people which you can read, listen to, or watch in five minutes (or so).

We’ll be announcing a lineup soon, but here we’ll let you in on one of our first guests: Twitter co-founder, and genius , Biz Stone. Have a question for Biz? Simply leave a comment here, DM me on Twitter here, or message me on Facebook here (guest suggestions may also be submitted in the same manner).

Thanks!

Yesterday, the Mashable Team posted an outstanding compilation — sort of an ‘everything you wanted to know about podcasting, and more’ list. Included are such categories as:

- Podcast Creation Guides (such as iLounge’s Beginner’s Guide to Podcast Creation)
- Podcast Advertising (like Podbridge)
- Video Podcasting (a la blip.tv)
- Mobile Podcasting (see Yodio)
- Podcast to Text (try CastingWords)
- Podcast Directories (such as Yahoo! Podcasts)

Waxxi was named in the Live Podcasting category, as such:

Audio shows streamed live, mainly with notable technologists. Once recorded, the live shows are available as podcasts.

Mashable has been doing a bang-up job with other compilation posts, such as Craigslist Alternatives, the 7 Most Disruptive VoIP Services, and Mini-Blogging: 8 Pownce Rivals Compared.
