Internet Broadcasting Makes A Comeback

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the the-return-of-the-king? dept.

Mark Leaman writes "About six years ago I founded an internet broadcasting company called GT2K (Gametalk 2000) which featured Real Audio based radio shows on gaming in all its incarnations (table top, strategy, computer...). During the dot.com "plague years" we saw hordes of internet broadcasting companies belly up. But now internet broadcasting is making a comeback thanks to Podcasting. Although Podcasting isn't new news Yahoo has some nice coverage on the re-emergence of the medium."

  1. NPR's coverage of Podcasting by bigtallmofo · · Score: 4, Interesting

    NPR had a recent story on podcasting. They interviewed a guy that would record his commute to work every day and then put it on a web site so that people could then listen to his musings on their IPods. Scintillating.

    Internet broadcasting was on a down-trend?

    Wierd, I listen to wolfFM.com and local talk radio over the internet everyday. Have done so for years.

  3. P2P Streaming by popo · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'm not sure PodCasting is creditworthy when it comes to bringing back web broadcasting.

    If any technology or trend is responsible for the rebirth of web broadcasting, it is undoubtedly P2P Streaming (like PeerCast.org).

    I can't figure out why p2p streaming isn't getting more hype than it is. I downloaded my first P2P streaming client about a month ago, and was pretty amazed at both the quality and the possibilities.

  4. online radio made me stop downloading mp3s by novakane007 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I listen to Digitally Imported Radio (DI) every day. In fact, since I have something always available I rarely download music anymore. It's simply more convienent to just tune in than it is to go searching for what I'm interested in.
