Podcasting

Bernard,

Thanks greatly to your site my site http:www.techcolosseum.com is proceeding along nicely. I still have some tweaks (and inevitably some questions for you but for once I'm not going to pose a question but rather point out a technology that some people with websites out there might want to take a closer look at, namely podcasting.

If you don't know what it is, check here: http:log.hugoschotman.com/hugo/podcasting/index.html essentially what it is is MP3 audio broadcasting from your site.

Have you ever been struggling to write some content for you website, and just wish you could verbally explain it to your readers? Or did you want to ad some verbal expressions and innovation to your content that the written word has difficulty to get accross. Or verbal interviews with customers, experts etc... then you should consider podcasting.

If there are any code monkeys reading this you can also consider the technologies being used to turn podcasts into organised feeds for distribution accross the web. See here: http:log.hugoschotman.com/hugo/podcasting/index.html

Personally I own a flash MP3 player from iAudio that has a line in that can convert audio directly to MP3 format, so I suspect I'll be playing around with podcasting shortly myself!
