This article was split away from the main Podcasting article. --ozzmosis 19:02, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't the "Other Uses" section of the main Podcasting page come over here too? It's another list of "firsts" -- but less significant ones. Sorry, I don't have time to move it myself (or even look up my password and log in). bstepno 8:53, 20 June 2006

[edit] Podcasting began to catch hold to the masses in late 2004
What kind of citation is required? I started listening to the Daily Source Code in September 2004 after buying my first iPod and reading about Curry's iPodder AppleScript somewhere on the (mac)web. Maybe slashdot. My point is that there were several posts on different sites about the script at the time. You only have to look at the timeline at the bottom of this page to see late 2004 booming. For example this Inquirer story. 1bj05hua (talk) 03:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Lead
Wow... can a contributer to this article please read WP:LEAD? The thing is WAAAYyy too long. Mikker (...) 18:01, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Looks
Has anyone else noticed how utter shit this article looks with all that references crap? --202.150.110.106 10:43, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Holy F'Ing Cleanup
Wow, it's been a while since I've seen such a sloppy page, someone really needs to clean through this page, asap.
Is there any actual need to refrence adam curry in the first paragraph of the timeline?? It's not even in any kind of contex, it's just he talked with the guy who created the software he used. If someone can defend him having two refrences in the first parts of this article I would be more than happy to retract my opinions —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.69.184.78 (talk) 14:34, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] syndication feed enclosures
What are syndication feed enclosures?...
- Syndication Feeds are RSS feeds. RSS Feeds broadcast XML data like Blog posts and the process allows users to subscribe to blogs and podcasts. This data is constantly "pinged" by aggregators or "feed readers". Enclosures are basically like email attachments for these feeds. It allows an individual to attach a file to an RSS feed. Hope that helps. BrianZ(talk) 00:26, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Consider it Cleaned
There is still some work to be done, but I cleaned the article alot by placing things chronologically instead of jumping all over the place throughout the article. I know some may not prefer a timeline, but there is just too much useful information in this article that a user would be confused without a point of reference.

[edit] Correct Capitalization of Mbone
Is it Mbone or MBONE? I've seen it capitalized in this article and others (like Mbone) both ways. Elocina 22:50, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Leo Laporte
Leo Laporte has been a pioneer in podcasting. Should he have a mention in this article? Yavoh 17:26, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Lots of people have been influential but yes i would agree Leo has been involved quite a bit. Mrsteveman1 (talk) 20:07, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Additional References
I wanted to add the following references to this page but could not.
Also, in March 19, 2007 Wizzard Media closed its acquisition of Libsyn. I am not knowledgable on the subject but a references of this is availble on Wizzard Software's web site: Wizzard Closes Acquisition of Libsyn
[edit] Apropos of nothing
Radio Free Cybertron was distributing user-generated content in a proto-podcast format as early as 1999. Not sure if that warrants a mention here or not, but it was definitely one of the earliest non-commercial uses of the technology that I know of. 24.30.97.198 00:45, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Non-technical History of Podcasting
Podcasting is important for reasons other than its technical innovation. This article is basically a history of RSS-enclosed mp3 files and not a all-inclusive history of podcasting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.244.164.254 (talk) 19:32, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
