My podcatcher is a publishing tool

Thursday, October 4, 2007 by Dave Winer.

I was subscribed to too many podcasts, my old podcatcher was downloading far more than I'd listen to.  

So when I started the project to write a new podcatcher, I decided to start with a clean slate, and go for a minimalist set, the ones I really listen to, and add slowly, and make it very easy to remove or suspend a feed.  

And as I announced on Tuesday, my podcatcher has a Twitter account, if you're interested in background programming while you twit the day away.

And yesterday I took another item off the to-do list, and came up with a public web page that shows my podcatcher's discoveries in reverse-chronologic order.

This will develop of course, what you're seeing is totally pre-alpha, not even 1.0.
