You know a technology has hit critical mass when…
…not only those that Ice Fish embrace it, but the government does as well! The Minnesota DNR has just released their first podcast: “Ice Fishing Tips”, available on their new DNR Podcasts page.
Seriously, way to go DNR. It’s nice to see government on the leading edge of web technologies for a change (and this is coming from somone who works in .gov web land ;o)

Interestingly enough, the University of Minnesota News Service has been posting free daily (!) podcasts since September. This would seem to be a far more effective way to distribute such information as I suspect more people would be willing to listen to rather than read such material - these MP3 files could also be used by radio stations.

It is good to see that management in the DNR (versus the technical staff) has recognized the value of this web technology and is willing to adopt it.
