Yahoo! launches podcasting site

Yahoo! Yahoo! has unveiled their latest foray into Web 2.0, Yahoo! Podcasts. It let’s users subscribe to, listen, tag, rate, and publish their own podcasts. The service is currently in beta. It reminds me a lot of Odeo. Except not as good.

The question is, do they have enough power to get every podcaster saying, “Vote for me on Yahoo! podcasts.” At first everyone wanted a vote on Podcast Alley, then it become iTunes when Apple decided to support podcasts in it’s popular client. Does Yahoo still have enough popularity to make this a universal service.

Yahoo! already has popular podcasts listed in on Yahoo! Podcasts. Such as This Week in Tech.

This service will bring podcasts to users who have yet to hear of the term. But for experienced listeners, it’s another fish in the ocean of podcasting sites.
