Shoutout for bookmarking podcasts
I’ve been using Podchains to bookmark audio and video files (podcasts), but it’s a closed system, so I’m looking for something new.
What I want to do is simply bookmark media files, a little uploading/hosting space would be cool (just like Podchains), but it’s not essential.
I can use del.icio.us, but I’d rather just use it for regular websites, and use a more focused tool for podcasts.
I researched this topic a little in a past post, but it’s not my forte…this post is more of a Shoutout for recommendations.
Here’s a little write up of the focus of various services:
SUBSCRIBE
IonDB, Democracy, TVtonic, fireant, etc…
Web-based
mefeedia, SplashCast
HOST/SHOWS
YouTube, Vimeo, blipTV, OneMinuteWorld, OurMedia, Pluggd, Viddyou, esnips, divshare, PodShow, blubrry, SplashCast (also subscribe to media feeds, and create media mashups), blogTV, etc…
LIVE STREAM
YouTV, Ustream, Operator 11, Mogulus, Veodia, blogTV, etc…
BOOKMARK
Videobomb (from Democracy), Scouta, VodPod, dabble
NOTE: that some services like Splashcast and mefeedia, also provide a mini RSS Reader widget for your blog sidebar
A feature I’d like, similar to divshare and del.icio.us (playtagger) and others is that when I link to a media file in my blog post eg. mp3, wmv, etc…and I have the file bookmarked in my collection, it will display a player so visitors can play the file write from my blog post.
Another feature I like is a widget or linkroll for my sidebar, showing the latest media I’ve bookmarked, and being able to play it from the sidebar.
What about if I download any of these files and what do I use to store these files, this means I have 2 databases one with the files to stream, and one with the files I have downloaded.
I save these files on a desktop service like WindowMediaPlayer or a a client I got with my mp3 player.
There are also services where you can upload your collection, a bit like the HOST section in this post, an example is MediaMaster, see my at my post.
As you can see my choices are from the bookmark section:
Videobomb
Scouta
VodPod
Dabble
What are your experiences with the above?
What should I choose?
What recommendations do you have?
Are there similar bookmark services, just for audio?

Hi John-
I started thinking about a Yahoo pipe that would identify bookmarked media assets in a feed and then generate enclosure tags for those assets to make them playable in eg grazr: delicious Feed Enhancer - Auto-Enclosures
Any use?

You can try www.edtags.org as a resource for educational bookmarks–it has a great intro video!
