RawVoice is pleased to announce the Subscribe Sidebar Wordpress plugin.
The Subscribe Sidebar plugin creates a uniform list of the most common subscribe links with icons to display in a blog’s sidebar. The plugin may be added to the sidebar by either utilizing the dynamic widgets sidebar feature or adding a few lines of code to your theme’s sidebar template. Configurable options include links for RSS 2.0, Atom, Podpress podcast Feed, add to Google Reader/Homepage, add to My Yahoo, add to iTunes, add to Zune and follow on Twitter.
The plugin was inspired by our Subscribe & Share sidebar found in the RawVoice Generator’s program pages. RawVoice CEO Todd Cochrane wanted the same easy to find and recongize functionality of the subscribe links found on our Blubrry, TechPodcasts and PodcasterNews properties for our Wordpress blogs. My (Angelo’s) answer, the Subscribe Sidebar plugin.
Unlike our Subscribe & Share list found in the RawVoice Generator, the Subscribe Sidebar plugin does not contain any share links. If you are looking for a Wordpress plugin that includes this functionality, please check out Alex King’s Share This plugin.
Please let us know if you have any code improvements, suggestions, comments or thoughts.

Following the re-launch of PodcasterNews this past December, we temporarily took the application page off-line while we tested the new system. We are pleased to announce we are now accepting new applications at PodcasterNews.com
Built upon the latest version of the RawVoice Generator, the new PodcasterNews site now includes support for both audio and video podcasts, blogging and other social networking features. Along with the previous PodcasterNews features such as future episode scheduling, weblog pinging and integrated RawVoice Statistics, the new PodcasterNews is ready to forge the future of podcaster created news content.

We call the tool that powers our communities (Blubrry, Podcaster News, Tech Podcast Network and Podcast Promos) the RawVoice Generator.
The RawVoice Generator (RVG) is built from the ground up to support the creation of a podcasting network. The system supports iTunes RSS and pinging right out of the box. The RVG can also auto-generate ID3 tag info and file names so content publishers don’t need to do these things by hand every time they publish a show.
If you have about three and a half minutes you should watch this video demo to find out more about what the platform can do.
The RVG is available for license to organizations looking to build a podcast network or media based community without having to start coding from scratch. Feel free to contact us if you want to talk or see a more in depth demo of the system.

RawVoice has acquired the TechPodcasts Network, company officials announced today. The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
The TechPodcasts Network was founded in January 2005 and quickly became a popular niche community for technical-oriented podcasts. The Network features Slashdot Review, the Mike Tech Show, and other podcasts covering topics from programming in Linux to LCD monitor repair. The Tech Podcast Round Table, the Network’s showcase podcast, reaches over 30,000 viewers a month.
“This acquisition enhances what was already a strong connection,” said Jeevan Padiyar, CFO of RawVoice. “With the added features of RawVoice Generator, we’ll be able to do even more for the podcasters in the Network, and their listeners.”
The TechPodcast Network site is at www.techpodcasts.com.
The new site will launch today, with a new look and new features like social networking, show comments, and MyCast custom rss playlists. These functions are powered by the RawVoice Generator engine which also operates the PodcasterNews Network, PodcastPromos, and the Blubrry community.
All are RawVoice properties.

We’re starting to see podcaster’s grow their shows to the point where they may be seeking to create small networks. We’re also hearing from businesses that are interested in creating their own communities or networks around media. Both of these groups are facing the same questions when it comes to distributing media.
They want to distribute media, but that’s not all. They want to create communities around the media and provide tools for their users to subscribe to content and connect with each other. And they also want room to expand without a ridiculous amount of effort.
These desires make perfect sense. After all, podcasting in itself doesn’t create a connection with the audience. You need to make things easy and provide tools to help audience members connect with shows and each other.
Our RawVoice Generator platform addresses these issues and more. Our platform helps to simplify workflow by creating automatic file names and writing ID3 tags based on configurable information.
The audience gets social network features like friend lists, comments, one-click subscription and subscription sharing. Podcasts are searchable via show notes and tags. Podcasts can either be created within the system or aggregated from existing RSS feeds.
And you needn’t worry about scalability. The RawVoice Generator can easily handle over a thousand podcast channels.
Want to see a demo? Just head over to our podcast community at Blubrry.com to have a look at the user facing features of the RawVoice Generator. We’ve got over a thousand podcasts in the Blubrry community and more are added everyday.
The back end admin provides even more features including ad survey management, detailed statistics and a variety of publishing options. If you need a solution for your podcast network or community you can always contact us to get a full demo of the system.
Our value proposition for the RawVoice generator is a very simple one. It works. It’s built for podcasting. And it’s backed up by a great team of passionate and knowledgeable people.
