Podcasting using Podomatic
A podcast can be thought of as a radio show that is distributed on the Web, just for subscribers. This means that when we, as authors, create a new "episode", our subscribers automatically receive it on their computer or an iPod (the Apple device that gave the name to this distribution mechanism) connected to the computer via a kind of synchronization process. Thus, a podcast is not the usual concept of radio, where a station is continually broadcasting. In addition, podcasts can be audio- or video-based (for example, http://itunes.stanford.edu). We also need a player to automatically download podcasts. We now have Songbird to compete with iTunes (Apple's media player). Songbird is a nice open source media player by Mozilla, the same guys who develop Firefox:
And with Podomatic, we are going to create podcasts, and we don't even need a player.
Podomatic (http://www.podomatic.com) is an online community that loves podcasting. We can create our own podcasts online...
