New. Cool.

Matt Round let me know about this as he was hacking it together, and I'm excited to see if and how I can get it working with my podcasts: quoteplay.

quoteplay allows others to link to specific bits of your audio files (ideal for letting weblogs quote from podcasts). Using a Flash-based in-browser MP3 player anyone can play & select clips and create links to them.

Since I love blogging about specific portions of people's podcasts, it would be great if everyone would start using this immediately. Thanks. ;) Here's more from Matt on the subject.

Also, congratulations to Hylton and the crew at Corante on the launch of BrandShift, edited by the way-cool Jennifer Rice. It finds and unmasks closet telemarketing schemes — do you need to know anything more?
