Remember the old days of podcasting? And I mean like February of last year. There was this cool, free app that everyone was using to subscribe to podcasts.

The app was originally called iPodder but later had a name change due to issues with Apple over having a name similar to the iPod. It's still around and still free but I don't think there have been any significant development updates in the last six to eight months.

The development blog is DOA right now. You can still download the app but it hasn't moved forward and appears like it won't anytime soon. And I rarely see anyone referencing the application as a podcatcher anywhere anymore. Coincidentally enough, one of the lead developers was hired by PodShow back in November 2005.

It's nice to have an open source alternative to the interfaces pushed at people by the big players. But Juice won't be around too much longer if it doesn't have an update that grabs people's attention. You can still pay to create a custom version of Juice so that visitors to your site can download the app preloaded with the feeds of your choice.
