ipod, ipodder, podcasting the new way to blog

iPodder allows you to download internet radio broadcast right into his iPod automatically. What makes this different from radio or other Web-based media is that podcasts allow users total control over when they access and listen to the audio material.
Broadcast industry players and radio shows syndications are only now riding the bandwagon by formatting their material as podcasts. Hence the popularity of radio and television over the print media. The term podcasting has been floating about on the radio and in discussions with friends.
Adam Curry developed a program called ipodder that allowed him to automatically download internet radio broadcasts directly on his portable MP3 Player. The allure of the People’s Radio becomes quickly obvious when you listen to Podcasts such as ‘Dawn and Drew’ or ‘5 Minutes with Witchita’ – a real entertainer. Adam Curry, known as an MTV VJ to some but to most as one of the fathers of podcasting, said, “You can hear all these shows that are completely free and open with no FCC restrictions and they don’t have to sound the way radio traditionally has.
Podcasting is a cross between a radio show and a blog. And because the focus is on niche content tailored specifically to your audience, compared to radio advertising costs, podcasting stomps the competition in overall cost-effectiveness. You can become a DJ or to be specific, a podcaster, and have your own radio show, and be heard.
New Oxford Dictionary defines podcasting as “the digital recording of a radio broadcast or similar program, made available on the internet for downloading to a personal audio player”. He shares his expertise and knowledge so that anyone can produce a professional podcast that will equal of the quality of shows you hear on your favorite radio station. It looks like podcasting and other alternative sources of entertainment have finally caused traditional corporate radio to react.
Podcasting is the best all around, and why podcasting has benefited everyone who has taken advantage of it. Audio and video advertising lets them deliver their message more effectively than merely text or image. Consider the competition: streaming video on the desktop computer, television shows on your cell phone, video game consoles that allow you to play with competitors halfway around the world.
Podcasts are audio or video files distributed over the internet. But it looks like the next, new and great thing coming to the Internet is the Video Casts. To make it easier on you, use a digital video camera.
So how do you go about making your own video podcast. For example, a band might want to do a video podcast instead of a written blog. But, rather than typical online audio or video files – which are only available to be downloaded or viewed after the user has found it – when a podcast is created, subscribers automatically download new episodes as soon as they become available.
A video podcast is a creative way to securely share your experiences with family and friends, and your expertise and skills with people on the other side of the city or the other side of the world. One promising channel that’s become buzzworthy in the past few months is podcasting – the Internet distribution of audio or video content, usually using an RSS feed. A podcast is the combination of an audio or video file and a RSS publishing file, placed on an Internet server and available for downloading. There are podcasts available for just about any topic you can think of from cooking to video games to religion.
Podcasting is simply a new way to distribute audio and video files to listeners. “Podcasting in my opinion is the genesis of Video Internet Technology.

Originally from Wisconsin, I moved out to Salt Lake City over ten years ago on a six month software development contract. I now have over 15 years in software development, and was introduced to internet marketing back in 2003. During the wild west days, our business focused on content sites for Adsense revenue. As it became harder and harder to keep up with the search engines, our business has evolved, and forced us to focus on building lists and creating products. We now have a list of about 5000 interested in goal setting, and a small internet marketing list of about 500.
