Weekly Geekly--Podcasting

I didn't do the optional twitter week. I see too much potential for snarky comments.
So podcasting. This seems to have more fun potential than RSS feeds. I played with netvibes but it was waayy too intense for me. It's like be advertized to by 15 different companies simultaneously. I went home and played with iTunes' podcasting stuff and felt better. As a side note, techy husband says that it's only "podcasting" if it's on iTunes because Apple created it and everything else is just a knock-off. That's his snarky comment, not mine. On iTunes I found a few learn Italian podcasts (still attempting to learn) and a Ricky Gervais podcast. I see potential for a lot of time wasting in my future (but not until after library school though--I have no personal time until after library school).

  1. I love my iPod, too. :) From what I can gather, "podcasting" is a combo of "iPod" and "broadcasting." But the term doesn't seem to have come from Apple, and it applies to other devices. This was the best definition I could find: http://www.podcastalley.com/what_is_a_podcast.php . For what that's worth...
