In February, The San Francisco Chronicle was the first major metropolitan newspaper to launch its own podcasts. In announcing the Culture Blog, Bronstein said, "Blogs have become a key part of expression, interaction and dialogue on the Web. We have the talent and the traffic to make SFGate the blogging destination for anyone living in or interested in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ours is a Culture Blog that's entertaining, hilarious, interesting, engaging and unique."

Since the bombings in Sharm el-Sheikh, on Saturday, Egyptian bloggers have been filling the blogosphere with their thoughts. But one of them, Karim Elsahy (26) decided it was time to stop chattering and do something. He posted a note on his One Arab World blog and sent it to all the other Egyptian blogs he could find: "Set up a protest against terrorism tomorrow in the streets of Cairo. Do it. Call everyone you know."

In the first two weeks of July, the security company's labs saw more than 500 incidents of such attacks, Websense said on Monday.

As students flock to such sites, teachers worry that without the guidance they would get at a traditional school paper, kids will learn all the bad habits of editorializing and sloppy reporting.

Now a new Public Radio International program, "Open Source from P.R.I.," will test whether the collective intelligence permeating the Web can make not just loud radio, but smart radio. Not only does the program pull from unfiltered voices and opinions found on blogs, Open Source uses its own blog (www.radioopensource.org) to cull ideas and sources from its listeners.

If anyone is positioned to win big on podcasting, it's Apple, which added an iPod directory that features more than 3,000 podcasts to the company's iTunes music-download site on June 28. Apple said more than a million podcasts were downloaded in the first two days the service was active. Sun, 24 Jul 2005 18:23:55 GMT podcasts 3
