Podcasting

Anyone know much about this “podcasting” junk? My boss asked me to research it today, so I did. :book:

I’ve come to a couple of conclusions:

  • Has very little to do with the iPod
  • Seems to be riding off the ill-justified “blog” craze
  • Offers little new other than a transformation of information to a medium that requires more time to obtain said information
  • (as such) Provides an excellent means for sucking up the net’s bandwidth
  • Most descriptions seem to miss the mark on what it is exactly. Comparing it to TiVo? Audio files embedded as email attachments? Apples and oranges
  • Overall its stupid

:sure:
