Podcasting misunderstood by the web industry

I see regular examples of Podcasting being treated as downloadable content, not a media delivery mechanism.  Oddly, a lot of the confusion appears to be within the web industry.  Add Mesh, which dubs bills itself as “Canada’s web conference”, to this list.  The organizing team has a lot of work to do if it’s to live up to its claims.

    I’ve experienced the same thing in the classroom. As part of an assignment I ask that students research podcasting and very frequently they report that it’s streaming media or another way companies can reach potential customers. Their answers are vague and contradictory and they total miss that podcasting is a delivery method.
