Vodcast
WHAT IS A VODCAST?
Most videobloggers have setup a VODCAST using RSS so that their vlog can be easily subscribed to and syndicated/distributed to a wide audience and variety of applications and devices that handle the downloading of video feeds.
VODCASTS are Internet Video On Demand Channels.
This is exactly the same as PODCASTS, which is the buzz word that has been used to describe Internet Radio/Audio Shows and rooted by the popularity of the Apple iPod.
Apple refers to these as VIDEO PODCASTS, so you can also look at the term VODCAST as a shorter version of that… much like ‘BLOG’ is a shortened version of ‘WEB LOG’.
However, Video iPods are only one potential destination of video downloaded via a videoblog’s VODCAST so the use of ‘PODCAST’ can be misleading to people and is inaccurate to the state of this medium and the plethora of other devices not manufactured by Apple.
Most people watch VODCASTS on their computer, some on their TV and some on portable media players or cell phones. But BUZZWORDS usually overpower logic. Regardless, hopefully this explained distinction is helpful. To learn more, visit freevlog.org.
