Podlinez is now Phonecasting.com

It seems Podlinez is now phonecasting.com. They have also raised $500K in angel money, and they're looking to raise an additional $10 million series A.

It's the type of system where they assign a fixed phone number to a series (like SayNow). It works for mainstream stuff it really doesn't scale well to the long tail. It's better than the Earkive/Cellecast approach (what we refer to as "voicemail hell"), but nowhere near as elegant as the Foneshow approach.
