I love podcasts! If you haven't tried them yet, you might find they are a wonderful way to expand you knowledge while exercising or driving. Despite the name, which implies they are for an Apple iPod, podcasts are actually mp3 recordings that will run on any mp3 player or even on your computer if you have an mp3 player. Most sites with mp3 downloadable files also have a flash mp3 file you can use to listen to the recording right there. You can also Google - or use your favorite search engine, like Yahoo! to find "flash mp3 player" if you want to install one on your site.
In 2007, when I first started studying Internet marketing and social networking, I found numerous people providing free downloads of their teleseminars as samples of the types of training available with them. And I found a few courses I wanted enough to invest in. Because my curiosity and thirst for information greatly exceeds the amount of time I'm able or willing to invest in attending live teleseminars, the option to download to my computer so I can upload it onto my iPod has been great. I have a mobile classroom.
Because I find podcasts so helpful, it came as a shock when I read something on Paul Colligan's Business of Podcasting and New Media blog post, 1/28/09, "Podcasting Is Dead?" Apparently some authorities claim podcasting is dead. Yet Paul showed a Google Trends graph that clearly indicates an incredible interest level in podcasts compared to social media, new media, and online media. Obviously the public still thinks podcasts are vital and important. You can find my comment; it's the fourth one down following "Podcastng Is Dead?"
