Some screenshots and a brief review of Odeo in beta from Google Blogoscoped, who calls it “a very good-looking, smoothly working podcast portal.” The actual workings of the new podcast site and its tools have been a bit of a mystery despite the splashy publicity being drawn by co-founder Ev Williams of Blogger/Google fame.

Update: No sooner did I post this than I came across this link via Dave Winer. Turns out there’s some concern how Odeo is using RSS and whether it’s creating its own custom feed instead of using the original. Hmmm …
Odeo’s response: It didn’t occur to them that might be perceived as hijaacking so they switched to direct links to original feeds. They’re also inviting people to look at the TOS, mostly borrowed with permission from Flickr. This underscores the sensitivities at play as podcasting continues to mature.
