Important info you’re gonna wanna know:
We know that some of you were not able to hear all the weekly Geocaching Goodness that we normally bring you since our last show was a MAPP show for financial supporting members, but we wanted to keep you posted with an exciting new direction that PodCacher is moving towards.
In this ever growing age of social media, PodCacher has to stay relevant and grow with the times. You probably realize that the production of an audio show each week is cumbersome and costly. The distribution of the weekly audio file is now archaic and very confusing to some. It is for these and many more reasons that PodCacher is moving to a more nimble and socially current format ... The Twittercast.
Instead of a large audio file each week, PodCacher will be distributing our shows in bite sized, easy to manage, 140 character Tweet posting via twitter all through the week. Some stories and segments may be longer and require a double or triple tweet coverage, while lengthy “interviews” might actually span a quadTweet or quintTweet format.
Starting with Show 463, look out for our new TwitterCast via a smartphone or twitterfeed reader near you! You’ll still get all the Geocaching Goodness, only now in little 140 character text bites throughout the week.
We realize that some of our listeners will be disappointed that the audio program will no longer be available, but we hope you understand that PodCacher is devoted to keeping up with the times and the need for fast, short and succinct blasts of text info that everyone has grown to love. FYI, we may have to convert some often used lines to acronyms or initialisms to save space, i.e. “Till next time, stay safe and keep on cachin’!” will now be TNTSSAKOC! See? Fun! We think this is going to be something that our I, C, and GL listeners will really enjoy! Listeners can still win prizes in the GAC section, hear achievements in the MS section and of course keep up with our son’s antics in the QSU segment.
See you on the TwitterVerse!
TNTSSAKOC!
HAF’s
Yeah. Not buying it. LOL
Oh sounds really nice!!!!! looking foward to read your show every week in 700 characters . LOL!!!!!
Wait. You guys are still around? I thought you canceled this show a year ago…
Uh huh, thats all I need …more reading while I’m trying to drive…..
Most geocachers I know are not as technically savvy as you may imagine. Personally I don’t have twitter and don’t plan to start now. Keeping up with new caches that come in via text is already tough. And the Acronyms I suspect maybe 5% of the over 50 crowd has a clue what a quarter of the ones you just used mean. I’m 67 and I figured out 1 of the 5 that you used in your message.
I’m really sorry to see Podcacher disintegrate like this but that’s your decision.
I wonder, did garybech checked the date on this post?
