Jim Kukral has posted a question or rather has asked everyone to start a podcast of your own because he believes that it’s really important to start a podcast at this point of time. The reason is that he thinks that it’s the perfect time to start a podcast as it’s still in early stages and by the time, podcasts will grow huge, you’ll have a pretty big archive.
I agree with Jim on this part completely and I’ll say that here are some of the reasons why I would like to start a podcast of my own or may be screencasts :
1. It’s the right time to start one. (The point made by Jim).
2. Monetizing them isn’t difficult too : there are services like Revver, Metacafe, Kaltura (still not released but have the plans to share the money) which allow you to earn money through the videos, which allow you to upload.
3. Helps build authority : Various websites like YouTube, Revver, MetaCafe attract millions of users and if you build a pretty impressive video then those videos will help you in building authority as you’ll be able to brand yourself in front of those millions of users.
4. Helps in driving traffic : You get to include the link to your own website in the description of the videos, you can put your website address as the watermark in the videos too and that can certainly help in driving the traffic to your blog/website.

PhotoBooth is an excellent utility from Mac which allows you to take quick pictures from iSight camera of Macbook or any other USB webcam. Although the images are quite plain and if we want to add effects to those images then we’ll need to dip our hands dirty into image editing field and trust me that’s not at all easy!
Well, for lazy people like me software or utilities like CatEye come pretty handy. This utility puts various effects in photobooth and iChat. So if you want to take a still photograph showing the retro effect then it will be as simple as clicking a picture from Photobooth or while chatting with your friends you can show these wonderful effects through the iSight webcam.

Orkut has rolled out a new feature where it allows you to update the status message and lets you shout any message which you want to tell your friends. This feature isn’t available dynamically like we have in Facebook, which allows you to without loading any page and is done with the help of Ajax.
Strange fact is that you can’t see the update status feature until and unless you go in the edit profile and until you click on the Update button. Once you do that you’ll get the option of updating the status and that’s just below your name.
