pods!

well here we are in the world of pods...i have heard the term over and over but i wasnt quite sure what it was. i imagined it as a sort of radio show online, so i guess i was right except that i didnt know that video could be a podcast as well. it is a pretty cool tool. i found some cool stuff for which i wouldnt normally look around, but nonetheless. there is a wine podcasts which is cool, except the host is a nut(just a little obnoxious) and i havent listened to npr in so long so its great that they have that available. however, i dont think i will use podcast very much. i dont know that i would have time to sit down and listen or watch any. i barely have time to read a book or watch a movie so im not sure i will be subscribing to any of these in the near future. As far as the library goes i think it would be appealing to some of the public. perhaps they could have storytime or book clubs as podcasts. i would imagine since you have to download these podcasts you would need sufficient memory on your computer. that is a downside in my opinion because i dont have much room for anything else in the memory department of my computer, so i can see that it might be a deterrent to some. and is it possible to have tv shows as podcasts? it seems this way from the info posted on the information given regarding podcasts. and again like i said before another downside would be to have to make another account to keep these podcasts; you have to subscribe to them somehow...a little much for me.
