Podcasting
Definitions
Podcasting is quickly becoming a buzz word among the techie
crowd. So what is podcasting, anyway? Podcasting is online audio
content that is delivered via an RSS feed. Many people liken
podcasting to radio on demand. However, in reality, podcasting
gives far more options in terms of content and programming than
radio does. In addition, with Podcasting, listeners can determine
the time and the place, meaning they decide what programming
they want to receive and when they want to listen to it.

Lists Their Favorite Podcasting Tools
At one time it was possible to pass off a podcast created
with the barest of tools--the microphone built into a MacBook
or iMac and a free audio editing application. While some podcasts
are still created that way and succeed almost entirely because
of the quality of their content rather than their less-than-pristine
production, the world expects better sound from today's podcasts.
To produce that better sound, a higher class of tools is necessary.
That said, you do not need to bust your bank account to make
a podcast with decent sound. Here are some tools we like and
recommend.

Keys To Promote Podcast
So you have decided to publish an online video podcast
or an audio podcast – but what can you do in terms
of promoting your podcast to increase the number of listeners
or viewers and grow your community building your visibility
online?
I was in conversation with Todd Cochrane today from Blubrry
who also runs the annual Podcast Awards and he shared with me
some interesting research which was undertaken across the podcasts
that were nominated for an award. You can access the research
results from the Podcast Awards where over 2300 sites were reviewed.
The outcome of the research that was undertaken when reviewing
the podcasts that were contenders for the awards gives us some
insights on best practice tips for publishing and promoting
your podcast.

Manage
Your Reputation Online
When you encounter a mention of your products or services
that casts a negative implication, try not to let anger or emotion
dictate how you respond. Always behave professionally when providing
responses, and always try to offer solutions and assistance.
This can often be instrumental in changing the public perception
about your company brand when problems arise. Your reputation
is important, so be proactive!

Patent
A group campaigning for online freedoms has condemned the
granting of a patent which appears to cover the concept of podcasting.
The Electronic Frontier Freedom is now looking for examples
of podcasting from before 2003 to help it challenge the patent.
The successful patent application was granted to VoloMedia,
a company which specializes in producing statistics for analyzing
the use of iTunes, as well as selling mobile advertising.
