Podcasting Makes the Grade - Linda Seid Frembes, e-Commerce Times
In the calendar year 2004, the Hart Hall Media Distribution Lab at the University of California, Davis checked out 17,307 recordings of campus lectures, all of which were on cassette tape. There was an obvious demand for the recordings but, given the advancement of digital technology, was there a better way to record and distribute them? While podcasting has been around for less than a decade, its popularity has grown tremendously in the last few years. After Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) began adopting the technology in 2003, podcasts from a seemingly endless variety of sources became available at the click of a mouse button. Podcasting is also gaining ground in the education market as a means to capture and distribute class lectures at institutes of higher learning.
