First up, lets have a look at this video and it will give you an insight to the uses of Podcasting and its advantages.
Significance A podcast is perhaps a series of audio and video digital media files which is widely distributed all over the internet by downloads, through portable media players and personal computers.
So what makes PODCASTING significantly different from other types digital media? Well, simply put, podcasting is uniquely different because of its ability to download and update new content...automatically. Often, the host or author of a podcast is often known as a podcaster.
History of Podcasting
The inventor
These two videos above demonstrates the particular time line of the podcast discovering periods. During this time period, Dave Winer deployed the first audio file via RSS, Stephen Downes demonstrated the first mp3 file aggregator, and traditional media started surfacing and got noticed.
Podcasting is still an upcoming digital media tool which is new and not many people including myself, truly understood the significance of podcasting. Therefore, after much research done, this video below which i have found illustrates on how you can create and effectively manage your podcast.
Lastly...
After viewing these various video clips on podcasting, so what are your inferences in the future of podcasting??
Perhaps, it is still too soon to comment on the limitations on podcast. Like any other media device, the sky is the limit for podcasting.
As the demand for transferring of important files within limited timing increases, little did we know that millions of internet users everyday are transferring millions of files all over the world. P2P File sharing defined
To understand this proposition, file sharing has been known as the process by which internet users can exchange photographs, mp3 files, documents, and other pieces of digital information in different formats as long as you have an internet connection. In other words, not only are internet users connected but they can also communicate more effectively and efficiently by transferring files through file sharing. Explaining these, virtually all file sharing programs rely on a peer to peer networking (P2P).
P2P History in a nutshell
Peer to peer networking was introduced in September 1999 by Napster. Later ,in March 2000, the internet saw a new wave of P2P file sharing activities by another created internet tool called Gnutella, and finally later in April, 2001, BitTorrent swept across countries and became the largest file sharing internet tool for transferring and downloading of files.Below shows the first few famously used downloading tools for internet users to tap on.
Also networks are widely dependent on how it is structured. Below are 2 examples that shows how computers are networked and how files are shared within that circle of p2p file sharers.
PEER-TO-PEER BASED NETWORK AND SERVER BASED NETWORKS ( NOT PEER-TO-PEER)
Meanwhile, at present, new names have emerged and stood out in the internet over taking other P2P file sharing programs. Hence, different types of P2P programs were introduced and they included different functions,speed capabilities, file types, and the depth of your search.
Considering a P2P program?
If you are considering a P2P program, one good indicator would be the popularity of these programs. Likewise, there are a few which are decreasing in attractiveness to people while some are going up, primarily due to the kind of features that they offer and the quality of that downloaded file type.
Therefore, it is essential to consider the details before trying a new P2P network file sharing program.
Below are a few new P2P commonly used by internet users. Click on those links to view the official websites of these P2P tools.
NOTE: However, these days, file sharing is considered illegal. File sharing is a crime, and one is strongly discouraged to be engaged in file sharing.
Finally
In sum, it is important to remember that file sharing in this blog entry merely highlights the types of different file sharing tools that have been created and is currently still available because of the evolution of the internet and it is vastly evolving as we continue to surf , download, transfer, and receive information.
