ID3 Podcast Magazine Launches ID3 Index to Track Podcasting Stocks ID3 Podcast Magazine, a new magazine for podcasters, and FinancialContent, a financial data company, have teamed up to launch a new podcast industry financial barometer called the ID3 Index. The ID3 Index is a hypothetical investment portfolio of 17 publicly-traded companies involved in the podcasting business. The metrics for the ID3 Index are based on the hypothetical purchase of an equal dollar amount of each company’s stock on February 15, 2006. The total value of all 17 companies was normalized to 100 points to create the ID3 Index. For more information, please visit the website at http://www.id3mag.com.
