I signed up today for two services that every podcaster should be checking out post haste. First off, there's Ourmedia. Ourmedia is on a mission to create a grassroots movement to expose digital creativity. In order to forward that goal, Ourmedia offers free storage and bandwidth for your video, audio, text, pictures, whatever. Holy s#^t! That's a great deal. I heard about this service a couple of months ago and just got around to setting up my account.. So far I've uploaded three of my original songs and made a blog post. You can check out my page at http://www.ourmedia.org/user/24110. I plan on uploading a few videos as well to test it out.

It seems like this is a great opportunity for podcasters and vidcasters to jump into media distribution without spending hundreds of dollars a year (at least) on hosting. Sure you can use our media to host podcast content. Leo Laporte over at This Week In Tech is doing just that. I won't be far behind.

I also signed up for My Space today as well. Just about every band that I've featured here on Podcast NYC has a presence on My Space. So what not get in on the fun? My Space is a great networking site, especially if you're a podcaster who's into podsafe music. It's also a place to build your audience. Check out my page at http://www.myspace.com/podcastnyc, listen to my promo and see who my friends are. Hell, I've got ten friends and I've only been there a day.

Take my advice and figure out how to integrate these great sites into your podcast ASAP.
