There was a time just before the creation of Podshow.com when I was an Adam Curry junkie. I listened to DSC religiously. Now I don't. And I am not alone:

The embedded chart above seems erratic. If you see "Not in the Top 100,000" try this link.

The stats show when curry.com was the go-to place for those who wanted to be involved with the genesis of podcasting, and now that the market has exploded and fragmented some of us have departed.

But I don't hear much/anything about him or podshow.com on my feeds (which I just added to my sidebar using the cool Grazr - here is the OPML). Am I just tuned out or is podshow etc not getting meme action? Do more people consume podcasts these days and the market is fragmented all the down the long-tail... or is the market flattening?

It could be a sign that the initial innovators aren't always the best people to take the idea forward to the next level.

Anyway, time to stop these intellectual meanderings and get back to work...

UPDATE:

Fredrik picked up my meanderings...
Adam disagreed with me...
Mick thought he doth protest too much...
I responded...
