08/31/2011 Faith and Podcasting The growing number of American adults who own smartphones today -- more than one-third, according to the Pew Internet Project -- is fueling the trend of mobile technology infiltrating churches. While more members of contemporary churches are reading and studying Scripture on their smartphones and other devices, traditional houses of worship have been slow to accept the technological evolution.

One is free, while others charge for their services. To create, all you need is content to fill them up. In this social-media era, that is surprisingly easy to get.

08/29/2011 Social Media in Emergencies The American Red Cross has released a new survey that claims Americans are increasingly relying on the Internet and social media for disaster information.

Facebook appears, by far, to be the most heavily used social media site for finding out disaster information. 91% of respondents polled over the phone and 78% of respondents online said they had used Facebook during natural disasters; another 25% of online respondents also used Twitter. Personal blogs, Flickr and tumblelogs such as Tumblr and Posterous lagged far behind. complete article

08/26/2011 Podcast Nation Over recent years, with Podcast technology allowing us to take a wide variety of audio content on the go, our overall listening horizons have been amazingly broadened. No longer are we subject to the lowest-common denominator programming whims of corporately-controlled broadcast radio. What with the storage capability of the ubiquitous MP3 player growing exponentially, the actual size of the compressed digital audio files is seldom an issue.

08/23/2011 HHS Guidelines for Podcasting Dozens of federal agencies are producing podcasts for public audiences — according to two online directories -- and the Health and Human Services Departments Office of New Media has released a new online guide on how to get the most of the technology. However, despite the recent activity, the status of federal podcasting is mixed; although agencies have started new podcasts, others have been canceled. For example, a user consulting the U.S. Government Podcast Directory on the USA.gov website on Aug. 9 discovered that many of the listed podcasts were from 2009 or 2010, or were no longer available.

08/21/2011 Converting Unfamiliar Audio Files I ran across a bit of a podcasting dilemma this week: a listener sent in an audio file he had recorded via a program on his Blackberry, and the file came across in an unfamiliar format with an .amr extension, a codec used primarily for GSM phones.

Combination of the words iPod and broadcasts, Podcasts were originally intended to revolutionize broadcast radio back in 2005. And indeed it has.

08/01/2011 Comedy Podcasts It used to be that the surest way for a comedian to surge to fame was to play clubs and and appear on TV.
