Right on the heels of my post about custom podcast feeds I found that the other Tim has been thinking along the same lines. He’s discovered a feature over at del.icio.us that allows you to search for particular filetypes in addition to tags and generate RSS feeds that include enclosures.
It’s a cool feature and it’s almost what I was looking for. Unfortunately, it still requires the extra step of separately creating a del.icio.us bookmark for the actual MP3 or other media file. I still think the best solution would take a simple Technorati tag, search the tagged post for an enclosure, and generate the custom Technorati podcast feed from that. The simplicity would mean more content would be included when bloggers and podcasters are at an event like NECC and they agree on a common tag (like “necc“) in advance.
