Podcasting Defined in Wikipedia.org

[theFerf]

Hey folks, as always, there is a wikipedia definition for "podcasting" available. It does a pretty good job of describing what it is and the current lifecycle of podcasting. Also very cool to see is that the PodcastAlley.com directory has been added to the site. Check it out.

The term podcasting was invented by Ben Hammersley in the article"Audible Revolution" (http://www.guardian.co.uk/online/sto...145689,00.html) from the February 12 2004 edition of The Guardian, used in context by Dannie J. Gregoire [1] (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ipodder-dev/message/41) and made popular by former MTV VJ and Dutch weblogger Adam Curry's original [2] (http://ipodder.org)ipodder script. RSS pioneer Dave Winer describes succinctly the technology used to pull digital audio (e.g., especially MP3) files from websites down to computers and devices where the audio can be played back at a listener's convenience. The recovery of MP3 links from distributed weblogs and distribution of the aggregated list using RSS had been demonstrated by Stephen Downes's [3] (http://www.downes.ca) Ed Radio [4] (http://www.downes.ca/ed_radio.htm), launched June 9, 2004. Podcasting was developed, according to Curry[5] (http://ipodder.org) in August, 2004.
