By Michael P. Sauers

Podcasting and RSS

"One of the features of RSS 2.0 is the ability to add enclosures. You can think of enclosures as the RSS equivalent of attachements in e-mail. Podcasting is the creation of an RSS feed in which each item has an enclosure of an MP3 file. This file is then downloaded and played back by users media player of choice, the result being the equivalent of a syndicated radio show. Early podcasts were mostly music-related, authors creating virtual radio shows bootleg and live music. However podcasts has evolved for an example Greg Schwartz has turned open stacks blog (openstacks.net/os). "

Title: Web Directories

"Web directories, such as Yohoo! LookSmart and the Open projects are collections of links to Web pages and site that are arranged by subjects. They are typically hierachical in nature, organized into structure that classifies human knowledge by topic, techinically known as ontology. These ontologies often resemble the structure used by traditional library catalog systems, with major subject areas divided into smaller, more specific subcategories. Directories take advantage of the power of hypertext, creating a clickable link for each topic, subtopic and ultimate end document allowing the user to successively drill down from broad subjects category or specific documents".
