Owning your content isn’t about portable software. It’s about portable URLs and data. It’s about domain names.

I want to make listening to or subscribing to a podcast as easy as sending an email. Or easier!
A very worthy goal, I don't doubt it. Sounds a bit like the universal Subscribe button that some people think is needed to get #IndieWeb writing going again.
In any event, I wish them much luck and will be attempting to keep an eye on podTo.
I've set out in as much detail as I can understand what is happening when I try to POST a Bookmark with a Description to WithKnown.

Essentially, the non-semantic web is a balkanised hellscape of competing open and proprietary metadata standards.
And I don't blame him one bit. Moreover, I'm increasingly fed up with the idea of modifying my website to do the work of undoing the Balkan megalomania.
