wenmin juz came over and introduced me to this cool site, podOmatic, where you can create an account, upload and host voice files/podcasts for FREE.
juz created an account and took a look at some stats:

was caught up in my new research project on audioblogging, hence the infrequent update over here. and was slow in clearing my feeds as well. saw these 2 pieces of news which may apply to some of our work here?

2. Web 2.0 – Wikipedia
