Week 4 Podcasting, Video and Screencasting, and Live Streaming

In chapter 8 it talks about podcasting and how it was just getting started around 2004.  In the book it says that Matthew Bischoff had an internet radio podcast that because it was on the net was delivered to millions of people.  This makes me think of the people that you see on your local city's cable channel.  If you are flicking through the channels late at night you can catch a homemade video or live music from some basement band.  If they would put their talents on to YouTube, they would have quite a few more viewers.  This is obviously the way to go now, your best chances of being seen are to put whatever it is on the web somewhere.  I look at all of these videos that go viral, these people were just regular Joes a few days ago.  The internet is a very powerful tool.  I sure hope we can use it wisely.
