PODCASTING AND RSS
PODCASTING AND RSS
Do you know about these? If not, you should. RSS allows me to bring the web news to me rather than having a ton of “favorite” sites in IE or on my desktop. There are a lot of RSS readers out there but my favorite is FeedDemon.
Podcasting is your own personal radio station. There are many podcasting programs but my favorite is, again, FeedDemon. What we have here is an mp3 file that is recorded in any subject that you are interested in. You can download the mp3 file and listen to it on your computer at your leisure OR you can download it and transfer it to your ipod or any other digital audio player (DAP) and listen to it in your car while stuck in traffic. Now, traffic is not a bother any more as I have something worth listening to.
My setup works like this: I have FeedDemon go out to my subscribed sites daily then later that day I read up on my subjects or wait to the weekend and with a cup of “joe”, read my “weekend paper”.
For radio, I have FeedDemon go out and download the podcasts shows that interest me, then with Windows Media Player sync to my DAP and transfer the shows. I plug my DAP into an adaptor that uses my cigarette lighter plug and listen to MY radio shows of interest rather than the morning deejays. As I said, now traffic doesn’t really bother me much anymore.
So there it is briefly. There is much more to all of this, of course, but if you are not using these, you should. Believe me the more you get into this the more exciting the possibilities of this technology become clear to you.
