On the Subject of Type – Foundries!

Friday, August 03 ,2007 Filed in: Microsoft

If you'll be at the Podcast and New Media Expo show this weekend, consider checking out these free classes on the show floor. Podango is offering an “Unconference,” a featured program of the Podcast and New Media Expo (PNME) taking place September 28-30, at the Ontario Convention Center.

Podango, the online video and audio network that enables publishers and advertisers to “get heard” by today’s hard-to-reach, niche audiences, is heralding a wide range of topics and speakers. They include: new media pioneer Scott Bourne, host of The Apple Phone Show; Paige Heninger and Gretchen Vogelzang, hosts of MommyCast; as well as Jason Van Orden, David Lawrence and others. Speakers will share ideas for building and monetizing audiences in today’s niche-oriented, interest-driven new media marketplace.

First off... I love the fact that type manufacturers are called foundries...
Second, I found a great directory for Font manufacturers (on Microsoft's website suprisingly).

In a nod to the little guys... Microsoft has posted a very comprehensive list of type foundries (some of the links are dead, however). You should really head over and browse (its productive... and a good waste of time).
