Yahoo recently announced a new podcast search service to allow surfers to find RSS content in audio, from sports to religion. Though
AOL, Blinx, Podcast.net, and Odeo.com already offer similar services, Yahoo brings with it some heavy weight that analysts expect will help drive adoption. While the technology is still ahead of the curve, Yahoo hopes to pace competitors as the web moves from text to multimedia.
