Hi, I have made a change to the site, I have gone through and changed a lot of the references of “podcast” to “netcast”, why? A study in the US showed that 98% of users thought that you could only play a podcast on an iPod, that is not the case.
You can play a “netcast” (or “podcast”, they are the same thing) on any device (computer, iRiver, Zen, Zune, mobile phone, in fact any mp3 player), the term just refers to a show that is downloaded rather than broadcasted. Leo Laporte now uses the term “Netcast” exclusively and so will we. I can’t go back and change every single blog post reference but I have changed the category and page references.
So, from now on we will not be using the term podcast on this site, from this point on we will only use the term “Netcast”. Thanks for your understanding.
I know the forum has “podcast” all over it, I’ll fix that next.
