If you own a brick and mortar business and you play music over the speaker system you are subject to broadcasting (or rebroadcasting) rules that provide for a payment to music licensing companies like ASCAP, BMI and SESAC. If you subscribe to a music service they may have that fee built into the monthly service agreement.

If you play music over your phone system when a customer is on hold you may be subject to payment of rebroadcasting fees.

Radio stations have had to pay these fees for years, but when companies began to broadcast on the web via online podcasts the subject was initially very gray.

Are you one of those people who are so busy that they could no longer have time to browse the Internet or newspaper in a day? This is reality. People are so busy that they could not afford losing even a second of their time. So if you are looking for a better way to advertise your business, might as well prepare a very effective podcast. People could actually listen to your podcast even if they are doing some other things like walking, riding the bus or even while they are doing their other tasks.

YouTube and MeTV understand that people want a creative way to express themselves. The anonymity provided by the web has allowed multiple thousands of wannabe stars to shine in low-resolution splendor.

The success of these online video enterprises has encouraged others like Yahoo, AOL and a variety of other media outlets to begin streaming video for online consumption.

Even children’s television is finding ways to allow kids to utilize online video streaming to participate in traditional television broadcasts through MeTV.

Television shows are now being released as video streaming downloads because the public is interested in video content.

Are you hooked in listening to your audio files on your MP3 or on your Nano fifth generation pod? Are you a collector of these wav files that are mostly downloadable from the internet? Well then if you are not, most likely you are not aware about the latest craze in podcasting. A podcast is an audio file that is created under mp3 format that is then uploaded on a supported RSS or Really Simple Syndication file to the server for the market to download for listening leisure.

A podlet is a small digital media file that can be embedded into one or more podcasts for playback on personal computers or protable media players.

The Podlet Vision

Closely related to the concept of article swapping, podlets are a way for an otherwise single burst of inspiration to be known on the world wide web

Perhaps you wake up in the middle of the night and have a “WOW” experience. You have a great inspiration to create something, you work at it, you push for it, and then it has passed. Once your creativity has expelled itself how do you get it seen, how do you show it to others?
