Apple Changes Podcasting Categories at iTunes

Posted on 4:01 pm by Paul Colligan

So I’m sitting next to Rick Klau from FeedBurner noticing that he’s spending a lot of time in the FeedBurner forum answering questions.

I just found out why.

Apple changed the category system within iTunes and, well, it’s a mess.

As of 16:57, Pacific, for instance the options for “Business” are

  • Careers
  • Investing
  • Management & Marketing

    • Management and Marketing together?

    And, to make things more fun, there ain’t a stinking marketing Podcast in that area.

    It’s a mess, FeedBurner knows, nobody told them, and now they gotta fix it over the holiday weekend.

    It’s nice to have friends on your side.

    Hi Paul,

    Hopefully Rick has had a chance to tell you already (if he’s not too busy handing out stickers :) but our updates for the new categories are now live at feedburner.com. Publishers should feel free to make modifications as they wish to their existing podcasts.

    Here’s a simple post about it in our forums:

    Have fun at Gnomedex!
