Re: One Solution
A while back, I proposed a different solution to the interactivity problem. You can separate the interactivity functionality from the broadcast functionality: http://www.michaelbernstein.com/weblog/archive/2002_03_26/view Here was the core of my proposal: "Webcasters only need to provide plane-jane garden variety webcasting, simultaneously providing their current track (and only their current track) as an RSS feed, or a similar format. Meanwhile, a separate company/software has all the interactivity of whatever sort you want (custom playlists, voting, etc.), but when it finally comes down to playing the tune, the client software merely finds a station, any station, that is playing the song you want right now, by querying a cloud of aggregated rss feeds, after which the software just tunes in to the webcasting station."
