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] 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.

[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)
