[WEB4LIB] Podcasting via cell phone

[K.G. Schneider]

I heard a presentation of podcasting at a recent conference where the
presenter, Brendan Greeley of Public Radio Exchange, talked about cell phone
podcasting as a way for people in politically repressive countries (eek! I
almost wrote "companies" ;> ) to present their views. It was a fascinating
talk about using Web technologies for citizen empowerment. 

However, though you have successfully broadcasted, you haven't really
podcast until you've made the sound file available via your RSS feed. :-)
Bill, have you tried picking up your feed with an podcast aggregator such as
ipodder? Does blogspot offer tips for enabling their RSS2 feeds for
podcasting?
