Nope, I mean pod caching. I have been listening to podcasts for months now, but I discovered one on pad caching. I think that maybe the cache part is like the word meaning a storage place, and that is why I think that pod caching is something like collecting. I listened to this pad caching podcast and I couldn't get an inexact idea what it was. It was still interesting and a well produced cast. Jim Jim Now its pad caching LOL Podcaching is an idea originated by Andrew Wooldridge which is a combination of podcasting and geocaching. The idea consisted of associating podcasts - comments, music, history, stories, etc. with a specific geo location. A user might then query this geographic location and retrieve all of the relevant podcasts for that location. An example of this might be in an instance when one visits a museum, one might listen to all the comments about each piece of art as one walks around the building. Another example might be when one goes to a scenic location such as a national park, one might be able to listen to all the stories, music, comments, and history of the given location on one's portable media player, having downloaded the mp3's overnight The receiving end of podcasting. Podcatching is a verb that describes the functionality of software that subscribes to RSS podcast feeds and aggregates them in a file or folder. Podcatching is the action that the aggregator takes to get podcast content. Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache. Now there is Podcaching….using Video to describe the coordinates. Broadcatching refers to the use of RSS feeds and BitTorrent peer to peer file sharing as an alternative to distributing multimedia content on the Internet. It is a play on words, in contrast to broadcasting. Since a Steve Gillmor column for Ziff-Davis in December 2003, the discussion has spread quickly among many bloggers (Techdirt (http://www.techdirt.com/), Ernest Miller (http://www.corante.com/importance/), and ex-Tech TV host Chris Pirillo, for example). However, it's Scott Raymond (http://scottraymond.net/) whose entry best explains what has everyone excited: "I want RSS feeds of BitTorrent files. A script would periodically check the feed for new items, and use them to start the download. Then, I could find a trusted publisher of an Alias RSS feed, and 'subscribe' to all new episodes of the show, which would then start downloading automatically — like the 'season pass' feature of the TiVo." While potential illegal uses abound (as is the case with any new file-distribution method), this idea lends itself to a great number of ideas that could turn traditional distribution models on their heads, giving smaller operations a new opportunity for content distribution. Similar to Lindows, the system leans on the cost-saving benefit of BitTorrent, where expenses are virtually non-existent; each downloader of a file participates in a portion of the distribution. RSS feeds layered on top keep track of the content, and because BitTorrent does cryptographic hashing of all data, subscribers to the feed can be sure they're getting what they think they're getting, whether that winds up being the latest Sopranos episode, or the latest Sveasoft firmware upgrade. Despite ample discussion, one of the first practical applications of this idea has only surfaced recently. Programmer Andrew Grumet has announced the release of a beta version of an RSS and BitTorrent integration tool for Radio Userland's news aggregator, available here (http://www.grumet.net/weblog/). TV RSS (http://tvtrss.sourceforge.net/) is another solution. Azureus has also an RSS feed-reader plug-in which can be used in conjunction with the sites mentioned above. Podcasting is starting to integrate BitTorrent to help podcasters deal with the download demands of their MP3 "radio" programs. Specifically, iPodder (http://ipodder.sourceforge.net/) supports BitTorrent for the RSS 2.0 enclosures that power podcasting. Also X Hollywood (http://www.xhollywood.com/) aggregates RSS feeds from BitTorrent sites.
