Meanwhile, podtrepreneurs everywhere will be haunted by recurring dreams of PodShow founder Adam Curry wearing black robes and carrying a sickle.

I think the next big thing is going to be self hosted community sites. Why give your content to one of these guys when you can self host your identity and invite others to come in and comment? If you look at sites based on Geeklog they are fully functional and take just a few minutes to customize.
Here is the url for a geeklog based site (its a Bay Area based film collective) [www.greenscreencinema.com]
