Slightly Immature Post / Podcast or Netcast?

This made me laugh! Take a look at the security, anti-spam image I needed to type in order to make the post. :) lol I'm so immature sometimes :-P

I was making a comment to a news item on iLounge regarding Leo Leporte's effort to change the word Podcast to Netcast to better describe that Podcast is not limited to those who own an iPod or users of iTunes. For those of you who don't know who Leo Leporte is, he is probably the most popular Podcaster out there and hosts podcasts such as Inside The Net, This Week in Tech (TWiT), Security Now, MacBreak, The Daily GizWiz, and hosts the popular TV show 'Call For Help' on G4 (Canada).

Podcast or Netcast?
Many people, too many people, don't realize that a Podcast is typically just an MP3 that can be downloaded and listened to on anything that can play MP3's (computer, Zen's, Cell Phones, MP3 CD-Compatible Car Stereos, etc) Heck, even on the Internet! (my choice for my start page http://www.netvibes.com/ is a great example)

Leo is putting $30k behind the name change and has already begun officaly naming his network of podcasts 'Netcasts'.

I hope he pulls it off!
