What is Podcasting? The word "podcasting" is a combination of the words "iPod" and "Broadcasting." In its current form, it's a way for people to be able to selectively subscribe to audio content over the Internet. This audio content can then be automatically downloaded to a computer or mobile device, like iPod.
How Does Podcasting Work? To understand how podcasting works, we need to take a step back and look at RSS. RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication (or Rich Site Summary). RSS provides a way for Web sites to let people receive summaries of new content that has been posted. This is called an RSS feed and is posted online as a text file in a format called XML. You might start to notice that a lot of Web sites have small, orange rectangles on them that say either XML or RSS. This is a link to that site's RSS feed. For example, the link for the NECC RSS feed looks like: http://center.uoregon.edu/ISTE/NECC2005/rss_feed.xml Subscribing to this feed allows you to receive text updates from the NECC Web site. If you just click this link or open it in a Web browser, it might just look like jumbled text. However, there are special types of software applications called news aggregators that can read the RSS feed and display the summary for the user. People can subscribe to feeds from Web sites that they like to read, so that the most current information that they are interested in is pushed to them. Podcasting is accomplished by sending an audio file along with the RSS feed. This is called adding an enclosure to the RSS feed. When the news aggregator sees that there is an enclosure containing an audio file, the aggregator can automatically add the audio file to iTunes where it can be put on an iPod the next time it syncs.  |
