Join the craze: Podcast Infinite conferences
We live in an increasingly Web 2.0 world where business progresses in creative new ways online. People turn to the Net to get their needs met for news, banking, online meetings, live streaming, dating and social networking, to point out just a few. If you're not involved in web sales and online collaboration, you're still somewhere in Web 1.0 days or even pre Web, which feels a lot like prehistory to this member of Generation Y. The same can be said for getting involved in the podcasting phenomenon.
I spend virtually all of my work life engaged in online events, web presentations, technical support or some combination of the three. More of my free time than I care to admit is spent on blogging, YouTube, myspace.com, Linked-in or Facebook, or perusing through interesting articles on Wikipedia. When I'm not immersed in Web 2.0, I am caught up in a consuming love affair with my iPhone and its infinite downloading of music and video. I've recently discovered podcasts on topics across the board that I can easily sync on my iPhone and listen to anywhere at will. As the obsession unfolds, I join in the ongoing podcasting revolution that is taking everyone by storm.
"Podcast" is defined in Wikipedia as "a digital media file, or a related collection of such files, which is distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds for playback on portable media players and personal computers." You can actually turn your Infinite Conferencing mp3 files into high quality podcasts. Our clients have many sensational conferences with material that impacts its audiences on many levels. Next time you plan a conference, you can request an mp3 recording and easily turn it into a podcast that you may post on your website and list on multiple directories to reach an extensive list of subscribers. Infinite Conferencing also offers editing services if you need to make changes to your mp3 so that your recording is pristine.
After you receive your mp3 recording, the next step is to publish the mp3 file, which you can do by saving to your web server. If you don't have a web server, you'll just need to find a hosting site (a few include: Ourmedia.org, Audioblog.com or Liberated Syndication.) If you're not using one of the aforementioned hosting sites, you'll also want to create an RSS feed using a program such as FeedForAll that will link to your mp3 and contain the data that will identify your podcast in directories and display on listeners' mp3 players. Your last step will be to submit your podcast to the directories so you get found by subscribers (many of the hosting sites offer this service as well.)

If you have accumulated a large volume of digital media content, you may actually want to consider using our parent company, Onstream Media's Digital Media Services Platform for managed hosting to alleviate the reliance on your IT infrastructure for storage. Onstream Digital Media Services Platform facilitates the archiving and retrieval of hundreds of different file formats including video and audio, PowerPoint, Adobe Acrobat and Macromedia.
