More on "what do we call this '-casting' stuff?"

Here is Scoble's take on it, at least as the argument rages at Microsoft.

Blogger gives incorrect data about podcasting at Microsoft.

I believe that podcasting is audio files delivered over RSS but that it's better to specifically name other things as to the type of file that gets delivered. For instance, I believe that what we do over on Channel 9 is a vlog or video blog.

Why? Cause podcasting in my mind is "Personal On Demand Casting"

A rose by any other name.

Or, you say "podcast", I say "mediacast." What do we call these things collectively, and how do we avoid confusing the decision makers?

"The iPod is associated with audio...it may well do photos and video in the future too, but can it break its brand from the audio shackles?

In the same way ... what Channel 9 does is best described as video blogging, or vlogging (urgh!), (you were right by way, now you're wrong ;-), the act of recording your screen is what screencasting is (not just in Flash btw, any video output format)."
