&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Before:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;PodTech is a wonderful set of podcast interviews that is updated very frequently and features top tech celebrities (recent podcasts include interviews with Robert Scoble, Dave Hornick, John Markoff, Chris Anderson, and others). What got our attention is the sheer quality (not to mention quality) of people John is interviewing, and how quickly his new venture took off. After just two weeks, PodTech saw over 66,000 visitors, over 21,000 audio plays and 9,000 MP3 downloads (Link). Not bad for a site with no marketing other than word of mouth.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;– Michael Arrington, TechCrunch, &amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techcrunch.com/2005/06/21/profile-podtech/&quot;&gt;Profile: PodTech&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;quot; June 2005&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;After:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;PodTech has seen it&#039;s share of drama in the past. Last October founder &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.centernetworks.com/furrier-out-podtech&quot;&gt;John Furrier&lt;/a&gt; left the company. Some of their content was questionable at best. Former PodTech employee Jeremiah Owyang left for Forrester, Robert Scoble quit then later joined FastCompany. A year ago I tried to offer PodTech some ideas on how to at least improve their image. There&#039;s room for a corporate video production company in the market. It will be interesting to see what happens to PodTech under the ViewPartner umbrella.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
