  6. Web 2.0 • What is it? • The read/write Web, not just the read Web of back in the day • Consumers aren’t just passive users, searching for content • Now they contribute to content • Enabled by new technology that makes publishing content easy: Web syndication

  7. Web Syndication • A method for subscribing to content published online • How it works • You publish content to a Web server • In Web 1.0, consumers of the content check to see what’s new, and they download new content • In Web 2.0, consumers use technology to automate checking and downloading • The technology: RSS files and news aggregators (another format for syndication is called “Atom”) • The metaphor: you’re subscribing to the content

  8. RSS and Aggregators • RSS files (Really Simple Syndication) • Published to the Web server with your content • A catalog of your content • Aggregators • Installed on the consumer’s computer • Checks a Web server, compares the current to the previous RSS file to find new content, and downloads new content • Like your email program

  15. Podcasting: Creating Them • Using a blog • Record the podcast, e.g., using Audacity, and save it as an MP3 file • Upload the file to a Web server, e.g., to public.clunet.edu using FTP in Dreamweaver or FrontPage, noting the file’s url • Using a free blog service, e.g., Blogger, create a blog and then post the url of your uploaded file, noting the url of the blog • Use Feedburner.com to convert the blog url to an RSS feed, noting the url for the feed • You can register this url with podcast directories, like iTunes, and/or give it to people who want to access your podcast

  16. Podcasting: Creating Them • Roll your own • Record the podcast, e.g., using Audacity, and save it as an MP3 file • Upload the file to a Web server, e.g., to public.clunet.edu, using FTP in Dreamweaver or FrontPage, noting the file’s url • Using an RSS-creation application like FeedForAll, enter the url and information like a description of the content, then save to create the RSS file (a .xml file) • Upload the RSS file via FTP to the Web server • Add a button for the podcast url to your Web site or blog

How could you use them? What would stop you? • What are the losers? Why?
