Randolfe,you are so right podcasts is a funny word, I see this as renaming thing, how about HAMvideo, it worked for years with radio.  What are you feelings, apart from ham being a type of pig meat, so much for getting away from this obese man image you have.   Call me a little surreal but

Hi, I want to add my welcome to new list members too. I've been with this list since day one and have enjoyed being a member. When some people first look at videoblogging they just see videos on web pages. It's more than that. This group, comments, emails and links have brought together

Don't you mean video podcast? I'm joking, of course, but I've noticed a lot of people in this group change their weblog title or description to include the phrase video podcast since the release of the video iPod. Is this simply to gain a little extra Google-juice with the hopes of snagging those

Hi Josh, It's more than simple 'buzz factor.' Most people don't know what or how to connect to media via xml feeds. 'Podcast' is making headway as the generic term to describe this via Apple's (and others') marketing and promotion. To simply add 'video' to podcast becomes a very simple way to

I agree with Michael. "Podcast" just sounds ugly. The word brings to mind images like a terribly obese man or a swarm of oysters--if oysters could "swarm". Actually, "video radio" has a nice ring to it. Never heard that term before. I also agree that "podcast" ties everything to the
