Defining the principle of podcasting
Podcasting refers to all non binary (non text) downloads on the Internet i.e video, radio broadcasts... The word comes from a portemanteau of broadcast and ipod.
The term "podcasting" was first used in a Guardian article "Audible revolution: Online radio is booming" on February 12, 2004. Adam Curry, who used to work for MTV, and Dave Winer, developer of many personal software and creator of the RSS (Really Simple Syndication).
Technically speaking, podcasting consists in seeking audio and video contents on the Internet (using RSS feeds) in order to centralize them on a single website. It is a very easy way for podcast makers to distribute their creations and for podcast seekers to find a lot of contents.
A streaming video or audio file can’t be considered as a podcast because nobody is able to download it.
