BloggerCon today was pretty cool. Blogging about it seems somewhat useless, so you can just go check out other's musings from feedster. One of the cool moments for me, though, was getting the whole podcasting phenomenon. I've sort of managed to ignore it as its popped up on Engadget and perhaps even the NYTimes, but seeing the passion and potential in the room, they must be on to something. Particularly interesting was the whole idea of Podcast "celebrities," who I guess like "A-list" bloggers seem to be developing quite the following.

More interesting to me, though, is how podcasting might scale past its infancy. If the whole point is for the average joe to start creating his own radio show (or whatever the hell you want to call it), and the whole point is to get a lot of people to download the mp3 of your show, then certainly bandwidth quickly becomes a concern (especially for the average joe). Enter bit torrent.
