Podcast Directories

Update: Digg Podcasting is no longer available. Please use Podcast Gallery.

Digg Podcasting homepage is now "the ultimate place" to go not just for discovering popular podcasts but you can also subscribe to them, download individual shows or listen them online. There's support for watch video podcasts as well.

And the features offered by Digg are definitely way ahead of competition that comes from Yahoo! Podcasts or the Apple Podcast Directory which is available only inside the iTunes interface. You submit content, you rate it and you comment on it.

With Digg, you get to know two useful things - what are the hot podcasts and what individual episodes of that podcast are hot.

It eliminates the need to download those "huge podcast files" only to discover that the show was so boring - Read the comments (or even the Digg count) around the podcast episode and you will get a fairly good idea whether the podcast is worth your iPod or not.

Spammers are less likely to pollute the Digg Podcasting section since new podcast submission are approved by Digg moderators before hitting the homepage. Some may disagree with the moderation part but that's again essential for the keeping the system clean.

Managing podcast subscriptions has never been so much fun and community oriented. All that the podcast community needs from Digg is RSS feeds for Podcast sections like Technology, Screencasts, etc.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall. Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
