YouTube Offline Mode Coming

I knew that going to YouTube was the future for Podcasting, now it’s one step closer.

First off, drop whatever it is you’re doing and head over to the WPRShows Channel on YouTube where you’ll find not only The Red-Light Roundtable that is broadcast each week, but you’ll also find Ryan Thomason doing his show alongside his son. Ok, now that you’ve gone there and subscribed, we can continue.

YouTube has found a way for you to download shows for a short time (short license or something) that will allow you to watch whatever video you chose without an Internet connection. The details are rather murky at the moment, but on their YouTube Creator Blog they do reference “mobile apps”

This is a real boon to those people that might have a device that works through wi-fi only, where they can grab a clip, an episode, or a music video, hop on their non-broadband city bus and still have entertainment. I think this is cool and a way to potentially dethrone Apple from their podcasting perch. I’m not anti-Apple, I just like competition. It’s great for us consumers.

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for. It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are. I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own. It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
