I’m currently looking into the technical aspects of setting up a podcast using Skype to do the voip conference calling, headset/microphone selection which i know TheDoc will have something to say about, and loads of other things as well. I’m homing in on the Plantronics DSP-550 as the headset choice currently, but i’m still open to suggestions from anyone out there, as i’m a noob at the tech side of podcasting. Also any ideas on the recording side of things, which Skype recorder would you recommend?

Answers on a postcard please :-)

They state the the site will cease trading on friday 30th May 2008, the last date for listing items will be the 9th May, and the last day to bid and buy items will be the 19th May.

Now although I have had a qxl account for many years I have never actually bought or sold anything due to the fact that i’ve found eBay to be much better as far buyers are concerned.

What are peoples thoughts? Are you going to miss QXL? Thoughts on why etc are all welcome :-)
