A comment on Podcasts are my new Wikipedia.

Why can't podcasts just be podcasts - and Wikipedia be Wikipedia? I fail to see the point in trivializing these two communications technologies from the vantage point of this senseless apples-to-oranges comparison.

There is a nice connection shared between the two in that RSS and Wikipedia are both strongly associated with Aaron Swartz, though that's never addressed in the article.

The author uses podcasts as an audio Wikipedia, and the article explains what benefits they see and how their system works. I don't see how this trivializes anything, nor is there a need to detail the history of the systems.
