Podcasting is the process of creating your own broadcast, typically produced by recording content and producing an MP3 file which can be distributed in many ways, including RSS. Podcasting derives its name from Apple's iPod, but any recording technology can be used. Individuals who enjoy podcasting and listening to podcasting take advantage of the portability of MP3 files, and listen to shows on portable MP3 players while jogging, driving, etc.
RSS
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS is basically a feed, a stream.
RSS feeds are the structures that organize content which is being updated on a regular basis in order for others to retrieve it. This content could be articles, blog posts, photos, PDF documents, PowerPoint Presentations, audio files, video files, or other applications. If the content is the flesh of an orange then a feed would be its skin. The skin keeps the flesh in place so that it is easier to transport.
Using Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 to subscribe to an RSS Feed is quick and easy and does not involve a registration process or fee. After you subscribe to an RSS Feed, headlines will appear in your RSS folders. RSS items appear similar to mail messages. When you see a headline that interests you, just click or open the item.
For more information, read how to add an RSS feed to Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and how to read your subscribed RSS feeds.
