Yahoo will discontinue its underused service for finding and rating audio podcasts on Oct. 31, according to the Yahoo blog. The jettison is part of the 100-day review of Yahoo operations by co-founder
Jerry Yang. Yahoo launched the service two years ago, but it ranks at the bottom of 32 Yahoo-owned properties monitored for use by Hitwise, which reported that the number of August visitors dropped by
20% from the same time last year.
