ClickCaster's AJAX-Powered Software Release Gives Podcasters More Control

Web-based Service Delivers More Ways For Subscribers To Create, Explore And Connect

ClickCaster has launched new enhancements to its turn-key podcasting suite. With this latest release, ClickCaster now offers a complete web-based podcasting experience for its users including enhanced editing and blogging tools as well as direct updating of podcast subscriptions to their MP3 player. In addition, podcasters continue to benefit from unlimited bandwidth and storage for their podcasts as well as high quality creation and management tools.

New features available with this release include:

- Direct iPod synchronization – Users can now manage their podcast subscriptions and download preferences directly from ClickCaster with no additional software required. All podcast feeds can be synchronized directly to a mp3 player or iPod from any computer without the need for iTunes!

- Full e-commerce services – Podcast producers now have the ability to charge for a single podcast episode, or to charge for a subscription over a period of time (a week, a month, a year). Now listeners and subscribers can pay with all the major credit cards (Visa/MC/Amex/Discover) and it even works with iTunes!

- Enhanced statistics reporting by feed, subscription and download - Subscribers can now see who is accessing their podcast by city, state, country and podcatcher on a daily, weekly, monthly and lifetime basis including sales generated from podcast sales. For those who love to crunch numbers, ClickCaster even provides the ability to export their data to excel providing further analysis and trend reporting capability.

- Draft publishing options – Podcasters now have the option to create and publish their podcasts and release them for access at a later date. This is great for those podcasters that produce a daily show and want the flexibility to create one or several shows that can be published in the future. A great time saver!
