May 8, 2012: Comic Books - Poll Position

Poll Position In the latest Superman Homepage Member Poll we asked the question:

If our monthly "Radio KAL" podcast was on YouTube would you play it?

This was an important question for us, as we want to make sure we're giving you the best content in the format that best suits you. Podcasts, being an audio presentation, are mainly delivered as an MP3 file, but in recent years the M4A file format has also allowed podcasters to present their shows in a file that not only delivers the same audio, but also allows for chapter segments with graphics and embedded links.

It's interesting to see that amongst those who are interested in the monthly "Radio KAL" podcast that 17% are happy with the traditional audio-only MP3 format, with only 7% go for the more graphical M4A format. Yet, 36% would like the podcast presented on YouTube.

It's interesting, because a YouTube version of the podcast would almost be identical to the M4A version, except without the chapter capabilities, and it would also require you to be online to play it. The MP3 and M4A varities allow you to download the podcast to play on your iPod while you're out walking, in your car on the way to work or anywhere else you take your MP3 player.

For everyone who voted for the YouTube format, please comment below with your reason for preferring a YouTube version over either MP3 or M4A. I'm interested to hear the reasoning behind it.
