No gabe. We don't call it podcasting because it's cool. We call it
podcasting because of the incorporation of rss enclosure tags into
the picture. Folks like The Snowman and Blind Kiss have been
uploading shows to servers for years, but only the geeky ones who
were adept enough to download the file and burn it to a CD were the
ones listening to the shows. Podcasting has automated this process
and with the help of folks like Podshow, people can set up channels
of content to be delivered to wherever they want. As far as podcast
recording software, sound studio is great for recording the audio,
but what he was refering to is a program like cast laster, which will
record the show, allow you to fill in your show notes, and publish
to the blog and ftp server. There is currenly one in development for
the mac. but for now, you'll have to record it with the helpof
something like sound studio and upload and publish it manually.
Before you go off saying that everything is a fassion, just
remember gabe that your computer skills are more advanced than the
average Joe user. Therefore, it's easy for you to search out some
little known 3rd party program that will fill the need for something
like iTunes. however, most folks want to be able to use what's out
there because iTunes does make it easy to get music. Stop thinking
from the perspective of the geeky tech guy who can and will find
alternatives. It's not about us. It's about the average consumer. We
can sit all day long on version tracker, source forge, etc and find
the cool replacements. what we need to do as a community is to push
for accessibility for themost commonly used aps because that will
benefit the greater good.
