Today GCAST, a favorite educational podcast host and player is closing their upload and register buttons to new content. Teachers are scrambling to find new FREE podcast hosts and players. Did GCAST have the same fate as www.searchme.com, one of my favorite visual search engines or www.bubbleshare.com, a popular photo sharing site? Teachers are resilient; we are great at finding the next FREE tool that will keep our students creating, collaborating, and sharing.
What are alternatives to these apps that have passed on?
Before I used www.searchme.com. Now I use www.sharetabs.com.
Before I used www.bubbleshare.com. Now I use www.slideshare.net.
Before I used www.gcast.com.
Now I will try www.podbean.com.
Did you have an app that passed on to Never Never Land? What app did you turn to in its place? Post a comment and join our web 2.0 support group.

I work for ipadio - http://ipadio.com - and we already work with a lot of educators for providing podcasting, phonecasting and stuff like that. Our core product allows you to simply phone a number from any phone and have it automatically turn into a podcast (or even allow people to listen in live!). Maybe ipadio could be a viable alternative?
