Questions about the ipodder.org directory:
-Is there a backlog? I submitted my literature game podcast under the Books category two weeks ago or so and haven’t seen it show up yet. It looks like it’s one of the categories that Adam is still maintaining himself?
- Maybe it should go in the education category. At least that’s where the most interest in it has been so far.

Each category is handled by a separate volunteer, so I don’t know what the backlog could be for the “literature” category.

I guess I’m the backlog for the education category – I get a chance to update it about once every 2 weeks or so. If you submit the info for your podcast using the link on the “educational” category, I’ll add it to the “General Education” section the next time I do an update (I’ve got a couple of new podcasts to list, so it will likely get done in the next couple of days).

How do you see the education directory breaking up into sub categories as you go forward? My directory is now up to 57 education related podcasts and I’m starting to think about subdividing.

The biggest problem that I see is the growing number of centralized directories (which are, ironically enough, decentralized). You’ve got 57 in your directory. I have a subset of that in iPodder.org, there are several other directories in action.

Where do users go? Which is “right”? There needs to be a better, more fluid way of cataloging these things. I’m seriously considering options wrt the iPodder.org directory – it’s just feeling wrong lately.
