Day 24 Creative Zen Vision:M Test Female Podcaster Teased

The Zen spent the last two days nestled in my purse ignored because I was busy talking to people in Munich.

On Sunday I was at the St. Patrick's day parade in Munich, Germany surrounded by English speaking people and then chatted with Australians at a beer garden until early evening. This couple owns two iPods that I chatted about earlier. The wife has decided to use the little iPod (which she has now located in a running jacket) for her children to listen to children's music. I think that is an excellent use of the Shuffle.. kids love hearing the same music over and over and over.

On Monday, I spent the day working on some podcasts that I will have to post today. I have the material for Chapter eleven edited of Chasing the Wind (enough for podcasting) and I have an article by the Ouch Kit creator to podcast.

While I was editing yesterday, I listened to the most recent podcast by Slate.com. I like listening to the regular articles and yesterday I decided to listen to the Political discussion. My attention faded in and out during the twenty minutes but then my attention was grabbed by a comment made about an iPod.

It seems that Emily Bazelon has an iPod and she loves it. Unfortunately the men in the group just made fun of her. I wrote an email to Emily asking her a few questions about her iPod and why she owns one etc. It really annoys me that men think women are turtles when it comes to technology. We are not really behind, we are just not the focus of the marketing departments of any technology companies except for maybe Sony and Nintendo. Other than those two companies recent attempts to grab women's attention, most technology companies are focusing on young men and ignore women.

Lets see if Emily Bazelon gets my iPod questions answered. I am curious to hear more about her iPod use. Maybe she will even podcast about her iPod. According to the Purple Cow, iPod is now in the peak of the bell curve because Emily is not a sneezer. If this last sentence does not make sense, go read the Purple Cow. A short marketing book that is just full of catchy phrases and very little content.
