RSS 2.0 Makes Podcasting Work “Really Simple Syndication” RSS 2.0 added the link to audio or video media “Subscribing” is usually FREE DIY Podcasting: Benefits for Teaching & Learning !17 One of the most important pieces of Web 2.0 technology involves the syndication of website content. Specifically, RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a standardized protocol which makes a portion of a web site (web feed) available to individual subscribers[1]. Earlier versions of RSS contributed to the rise of blogs. RSS 2.0 introduced the concept of an “enclosure,” a link to another file – an mp3 audio file in the case of podcasts. Web feeds allow users to capture each new episode on the site using an “aggregator” or “podcatcher.” RSS 1.0 led to rise of BLOGS, i.e., “web logs” RSS 2.0 allows an “enclosure”, a link to another file, e.g., and mp3 audio file RSS (Really Simple Syndication) 2.0 is a Web 2.0 technology that allows website syndication Allows portion of website, called a “web feed”, to be available to individual subscribers “Subscribing” doesn’t imply cost; most are free [1] Here, subscribing refers to the technology of obtaining the content, not the cost. Most podcasts today are free and don’t require a payment to subscribe. Podcasting – Everyone is doing it Bloggers Amateurs Broadcasters Radio shows NPR “In the Media” YOU! DIY Podcasting: Benefits for Teaching & Learning !18 Tech savvy amateurs, including many bloggers, were the first to podcast. Education institutions of all sorts are beginning to make course content available as podcasts. Professional broadcasters and syndicated radio shows are now making their content available as podcasts. NPR’s “In the Media” was one of the first to appear. Apple was late to the game but gave podcasting a big boost about a year ago when they began to add podcasts to their iTunes music store directory. Now a search on iTunes lists almost 5,000 educational podcasts.

  • Media Nations 2019

    Media Nations 2019

    Media nations: UK 2019 Published 7 August 2019 Overview This is Ofcom’s second annual Media Nations report. It reviews key trends in the television and online video sectors as well as the radio and other audio sectors. Accompanying this narrative report is an interactive report which includes an extensive range of data. There are also separate reports for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Media Nations report is a reference publication for industry, policy makers, academics and consumers. This year’s publication is particularly important as it provides evidence to inform discussions around the future of public service broadcasting, supporting the nationwide forum which Ofcom launched in July 2019: Small Screen: Big Debate. We publish this report to support our regulatory goal to research markets and to remain at the forefront of technological understanding. It addresses the requirement to undertake and make public our consumer research (as set out in Sections 14 and 15 of the Communications Act 2003). It also meets the requirements on Ofcom under Section 358 of the Communications Act 2003 to publish an annual factual and statistical report on the TV and radio sector. This year we have structured the findings into four chapters. • The total video chapter looks at trends across all types of video including traditional broadcast TV, video-on-demand services and online video. • In the second chapter, we take a deeper look at public service broadcasting and some wider aspects of broadcast TV. • The third chapter is about online video. This is where we examine in greater depth subscription video on demand and YouTube.

    ARTÍCULOS Historia y comunicación social ISSN: 1137-0734 http://dx.doi.org/10.5209/hics.69232 Transpodcast universe. Narrative models and independent community David García-Marín1 Recibido el: 3 de agosto de 2018. / Aceptado: 26 de septiembre de 2019. Abstract. This article describes the evolutionary process and the state of the art of podcasting from a theoretical and analytical perspective. This work integrates the main results of several researches carried out by the author in different countries, whose main conclusions show that podcasting has acquired a transmedia narrative texture that goes beyond the monomedia model from its beginnings, giving way to a new medium, transpodcast, which presents complex structural systems characterized by a specific multiplatform grammar and a high diversity of contents. Transpodcast is supported by the development of robust affinity communities, users and fans. These communities are built as peer-to-peer communication spaces and algorithmic environments where an evident automation of the fandom takes place. Keywords: podcasting; transpodcast; transmedia narrative; media evolution; affinity communities [es] Universo transpodcast. Modelos narrativos y comunidad independiente Resumen. Este artículo describe el proceso evolutivo y el estado actual del podcasting, desde una perspectiva teórica y analítica. El trabajo integra los principales resultados de un conjunto de investigaciones llevadas a cabo por el autor en diferentes países, cuyas principales conclusiones muestran que el podcasting ha adquirido una textura narrativa transmedia que desborda el modelo monomediático de sus inicios, dando paso a un nuevo medio, el transpodcast, que presenta una mayor riqueza estructural. Este medio se caracteriza por una específica gramática multiplataforma y una alta diversidad de contenidos.

    Specifications for Implementing Web Feeds in DLXS Kevin S

    Hawkins 1/5/2011 5:01:52 PM Page 1 of 5 * SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING OFFICE WHITEPAPER Specifications for implementing web feeds in DLXS Kevin S. Hawkins Executive Summary SPO uses DLXS to deliver nearly all of its publications online, but this software does not offer any functionality for web feeds (commonly called RSS feeds). The components of web feeds are reviewed, and recommendations are made for implementing Atom 1.0 web feeds in SPO publications using a script run during releasing which determines which content to push to the feed. Motivations Members of the editorial board of the Journal of Electronic Publishing (collid jep) and SPO staff have requested that web feed functionality be provided for SPO publications. This would allow end users to subscribe to feeds of not only serial content (the obvious use) but in theory any other collection to which content is added, especially on a regular basis. A feed could provide a single notice that a collection has been updated, perhaps with a table of contents (henceforth a small feed), or instead contain separate notices for each item added to the collection (a large feed). Components of a web feed A web feed operates with three necessary components: • a website that syndicates (or publishes) a feed • a feed standard being used by the website • the end user’s news aggregator (feed reader or news reader), which retrieves the feed periodically. A feed is an XML document containing individual entries (also items, stories, or articles). Syndicating a feed The content provider’s website often has buttons (icons called chicklets) to be used by the end user to add a feed to his or her news aggregator.

    2004 February

    February 2004 Games and Entertainment Megan Morrone Today you can use the same machine to organize your finances, create a presentation for your boss, and defend the Earth from flesh-eating aliens. But let’s be honest: Even with the crazy advances in software, organizing your finances and creating a presentation for your boss are still not half as much fun as defending the Earth from flesh-eating aliens.That’s why we’ve devoted the entire month of February to the noble pursuit of games and entertainment for PCs, Macs, game consoles, and PDAs. I know what you’re thinking.You’re thinking that you can skip right over this chapter because you’re not a gamer. Gamers are all sweaty, pimpled, 16-year-old boys who lock themselves in their basements sustained only by complex carbohydrates and Mountain Dew for days on end, right? Wrong.Video games aren’t just for young boys anymore. Saying you don’t like video games is like saying you don’t like ice cream or cheese or television or fun.Are you trying to tell me that you don’t like fun? If you watch The Screen Savers,you know that each member of our little TV family has a uniquely different interest in games. Morgan loves a good frag fest, whereas Martin’s tastes tend toward the bizarre (think frogs in blenders or cow tossing.) Kevin knows how to throw a cutting-edge LAN party,while Joshua and Roger like to kick back with old-school retro game emulators. I like to download free and simple low-res games that you can play on even the dinkiest PC, whereas Patrick prefers to build and rebuild the perfect system for the ultimate gaming experience (see February 13).And leave it to Leo to discover the most unique new gaming experience for the consummate early adopter (see February 1).
