JD-OD.com is the brainchild of Jon Reed and Dennis Howlett. We wanted to develop a site to showcase and discuss the latest developments in the broad on-demand IT world but in a variety of formats.
This site concentrates on providing video content, supplemented with podcast audio and text only content. The main idea is to give readers as many options as possible for consuming content without forcing them to consume everything through a single RSS feed. We’ve made an effort to cater for mobile devices and iPhone/iPad in particular.
