Last week two companies, Odeo and Podshow announced investments from leading venture capitalists and angel investors from Silicon Valley and Boston.

The investors must have some idea what businesses the companies are in, but we're no wiser after the announcements.

If you had to guess, what money are these companies chasing? Are they building companies, or trying to get bought by a technology giant like Google, Yahoo or Microsoft? Will other podcasting companies be formed and receive funding from technology investors? 

I'd love to know what people think.
