    Secondly a word of welcome to those of you just joining the SDR audience from iTunes. It looks like we are back in the directory there, and I appreciate you taking a chance to listen in. I hope that you will find it interesting and pass the word along.

    As I mentioned earlier, the second GO-toMeeting Live event series is Sept 3rd . Right now, make a mental note to go to techpodcasts.com and sign up for the event- at 1:30PM Pacific time. The event is free, but signups are required as attendance is limited.

    1. News Aggreators and how to use them to save time
    2. Using Technorati, Pubsub and Feedster to find info your looking for.
    3. We will show you how to use Dave Winer’s new OPML Editor in a collaborative way.
    4. We will show you a hack that will allow you to use Microsoft Word’s Blogger plugin with any Weblog
    5. In addition we will be talking about some other tools that will help those of you editing weblogs.

    Today’s SDR listener on ODEO.com is AFGX whose main interest – beyond technology – appears in about a dozen podcasts that feature mashups.

    Odeo combines aspects of a podcatcher client with a social client like del.ic.ious or digg.com in the world of podcasting. What this means is that not only can you see who has subscribed to the SlashdotReview podcast, you can also see (and try out immediately) podcasts that they recommend.

    Add to this the ability to search and sort by content tags, and you have a very interesting way to look into the minds of fellow SDR listeners:Current ODEO SDR subscribers. I can guarantee you will find something interesting there that you did not know about.

    Also at ODEO, you can find another techpodcast network member: PerlCast
    This weekly podcast about the Perl programming language is not too technical or too basic. Perlcast gives you a good mix of Perl news, programming talk, and interviews with leaders in the Perl community. Joshua McAdams has over five years of experience working with Perl (and lesser programming languages) in a professional setting.

    Perlcast is an example of over forty technology podcasts, in varying depth and scope, available through the Techpodcast network.
