ADAM CURRY WANTS TO MAKE YOU AN iPOD RADIO STAR

摘要

"People think I'm this poseur guy from MTV, but I don't care," says Adam Curry, the former VJ whose long blond locks once mes-merized teenyboppers across the globe. "I've always had this total dual life as a geek and a celebrity." He pauses for a moment and flashes the signature Curry smile. He's immed his mane and become an Internet entrepreneur, but he's still got that swoon-inducing grin. Curry, 40, is the brains behind iPodder, a tiny application that he believes has the power to challenge commercial radio, iPodder is the bastard offspring of the blog and the Apple MP3 player. It combines the hyperactive talkiness of blogs and the hip-ness of iPods into something utterly new: the podcast. iPodder uses the blog syndication tool RSS to automatically download home-brew radio shows, podcasts, directly into a portable MP3 player.
