PODcast or BLOGcast

Last night I was out at the Girl Geek Dinner (Thanks RC) and a few of us (well I was) were debating on the name. I guess we aren’t the only ones...

Scobleizer and Mike Hall have too for a while about if you should call PODCast's or BLOGCast's.

Personally I like the sound of Blogcasts as they state more what they are other than using marketing babble to sell it to people. All it will do is confuse consumers into thinking that you can only use an iPOD to listen to them...

As you all should know you can listen them on your nice shinny new C550 or M500 (which went down a storm with SB's guest)

But hey I'll never produce a Blogcast so don't worry!

I don't think they are the same thing. Generally, in my experience, I find that BLOGcasts tend to be of the "how to do this" variety, possibly with video; whereas PODcasts are MP3s for offline playback (not necessarily with an iPod), more like talk radio.

(See http://www.markwilson.co.uk/blog/2005/05/introduction-to-blogcasting.htm for my take on this a few months back).
