So the world wide web is a big place: There seem to be new sites popping up every second, it’s total chaos – I love it=)
There also seem to be new buzzwords floating around alot so this poor fool has decided to educate himself on one of these words – podcasts.
The term has been kicking around for awhile (uh 2004 actually!) but my head has been in the sand so this one has passed me by until now. I found the following explanation:
“Podcasts are audio broadcasts created and stored digitally on the Internet. Instead of being broadcast over the airwaves and lost, like with traditional radio, podcasts were created to be stored and played at the user’s convenience. Think of them as radio shows waiting to be downloaded. There are currently thousands of podcasts available, covering everything from automobiles to rock ‘n roll.”
Cool huh? This all sounds great, and I downloaded the free iPodder software to get some podcasts – but so far all i’ve got is some creepy guys slavering nonsense over my speakers – Nice!
Anyway, i’ll give it a whirl until I find another buzzword I want to research.
Until we meet again…
