Scarborough cites surprising affinity of Techies for Radio
May 20th, 2008
I found this today on RAIN which flies in the face of the narrative that Talk Radio listeners are not able to keep up with technology. It is encouraging to say the least, to us and our content partners.
RADIO USAGE HIGHEST AMONG “TECHIES”: Scarborough Research recently released a study on society’s “digital saviness.” Among their finds, Scarborough found that digitally savvy consumers are more likely to use radio both in its traditional and online forms. 1/3 “tech savvy” users listened to internet radio in the past month. The study also found that 59% of the “Digital Savvy” use their mobile phones for email usage and are “25 percent more likely to be ‘Independent’ voters.”
Profile Links Make it to CelleCast Home Page
May 1st, 2008
We are finding the process of rolling out the community features to be more incremental than first intended. The chicken/egg factors so common in most social media sites seems even more pronounced in CelleCast, as we have so many users already in the system just there to consume audio, and others coming in to have yet another social profile first, and see where it takes them.
The dynamics are a bit more complicated than I want to explain in this post, but suffice it to say that we are rolling through the soft-launch a bit longer while we see more latch on to the concept of community around radio listening. We expect to see participation grow, and look forward to seeing your profile there and your feedback however you want to send it.

Tracking Paul Shaffer’s Day in Rock Daily Just Got Easy
March 20th, 2008
I have heard little about anything Paul Shaffer has been up to besides making Dave Letterman look cool night in and night out, but now that we are working with Envision, our first launched program with them is a daily shot of rock history that Paul puts out. I have been listening to the 60 second sound bytes of cool nostalgia the last couple days and love. It is now on my cellecast playlist for regular consumption.
