So since I haven't gone as far as adding the Press This podcast straight into my feed (I think I will though, if you have a problem with that, I'd love for you to let me know in the comments), I wanted to give you an update here on the recent shows.
There have been three guest on three different shows:
- Mark Jaquith on the Future of WordPress
An interesting show and discussion for those of you interested how WordPress will develop over the next few versions. - Brent Csutoras on WordPress & Social Media
Especially interesting to those of you that like doing social stuff with their blog. - Avinash Kaushik on Blog Analytics and Metrics
Very cool show on how to measure your blog, what kind of things you should be tracking and which kinds of traffic are worth while and which are not.
I'm very pleased with how Press This is doing, but I'd like to improve it even more and thus would love to hear your feedback in the comments if you have listened to any of them. Also, if you haven't listened, let me know why not!
My only problem with the show is the annoying intro and going to commercial voice. Can understand the need for commercials but the voice the voice. It really bugs me lol.
The Intro is so cool. Everyone has different taste. The show is just the best. Keep it up yoast!
Joost, are you planning on making the podcasts available thru itunes?
thanks
I think I found the iTunes link! great!
Enjoyed each one. Maybe the guests could get a list of the questions before hand, to prep some more?
And maybe a recap at the end?
Well I've been thinking about that but to be honest my time usually doesn't permit to do that kind of preparation :) Also, that would allow less interaction with the chat room, which would be a real shame...
Joost,
I just want to say as a regular user of your plugins like Sociable and Blog Metrics, the interview with Avinash was tremendous! Truly, I don't think I have ever learned so much about metrics and their importance in an hour. Keep those type of strong guests coming and I will surely keep tuning in...Thanks again for your work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm really enjoying Press This, and I agree with Brandon that I learned a lot of great metrics info from Avinash's interview.
I don't mind the intro or commercial breaks - I'm glad you have good sponsors.
May I suggest Mark Jaquith as a guest soon, as he's heavily involved in the next wave of Media changes with WP. Hopefully, the Dev team will re-work how we store photos and uploads in the future.
Keep Press This coming!
Hey Brian, Mark was actually a recent guest, check out the previous episodes on the Press This page :)
Doh! How embarrassing. Of course, Mark was on. I've listened to all 3 shows.
I think I'm suffering from information overload with Press This and the other WP podcasts I listen to weekly.
My bad. :)
What was the WordPress plugin that Avinash mentioned for tracking search terms? I cannot find a searchmetrics plugin.
thanks!
That was the search meter plugin :)
And I'll try to see if I can keep a log of links like that during future podcasts :)
Joost, thanks for the link. I have installed it and I am curious to see it in action.
Keep up the great podcasts!

I've only listened to the latest podcast with Avinash (which was great btw), but glad to hear that they're on iTunes, I'll go download onto my iPhone to add to podcast listening while driving in the car.
Keep up the good work! :)
Joost,well done! thanks for the link
I just subscribed via iTunes, and I'm downloading all the episodes as I write this comment. I'm looking forward to listening.
thats a great thinking
