San Francisco, CA; New York, NY (PRWEB) May 15, 2007 -- While Sonic Mountain was waiting for the ink to dry on their recent acquisition of Odeo, SEOmoz.com announced that Odeo was the winner of the 2007 Web 2.0 Awards for Best Podcasting site. Twenty-five of the most knowledgeable and well respected experts in the field reviewed hundreds of sites in the Web 2.0 sphere to uncover the best in 41 different categories. They rated, ranked and awarded Odeo as the #1 site in podcasting. SEOmoz based this on usability, usefulness, social aspects, interface, design and content quality. Other category winners included Google Maps, Technorati, Feedburner, Facebook and Twitter.
According to Jack Roken, CEO of Sonic Mountain, "We felt that Odeo was one of the best podcasting aggregators in the country months before Odeo received this prestigious award. We are extremely thankful to SEOmoz for recognizing the remarkable ingenuity of Odeo's founder, Evan Williams, and his team at Obvious. They are an amazing and talented organization in bringing both Odeo and Twitter to the ranking of first place in their respective categories. They have built a solid infrastructure that the podcast community has embraced and now it is up to SonicMountain to take the best and make it even better."
Over the next few months Sonic Mountain intends to preserve the integrity of Odeo while making significant upgrades. The Odeo community will share improved content organization, search, discovery and podcast hosting of both audio and video.
