Mediafly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mediafly is a Chicago-based technology company founded by Carson Conant and Brett Mitchell in July, 2006.
Mediafly is an internet service for managing digital media shows (e.g. Podcasts) and downloading them to many different devices, such as iTunes, Sansa, Zune, and more. Downloading and Syncing is facilitated by Mediafly's SyncClient software (also referred to as a podcatcher)
Mediafly also provides podcast search similar to that of Odeo or PodcastPickle with the addition of direct device integration and the ability to download/sync to many different devices and platforms.
Mediafly's open API is in use by Chumby and other device companies to integrate podcast channels directly onto the device so that users can watch/listen to the same shows on their home stereo/TV as on their mobile device (e.g. iPhone)
