RE: [microsound] podcasting site?

I read somewhere that Bill Gates prefers the term "blogcasting" and
Microsoft employees are discouraged to use the other term that begins with
the letter "p". :-)

You are absolutely correct. But they only under certain conditions allow you
to use MP3 without paying them. They have not given up ownership of the
MP3-format.

This is very different to XML and RSS which are free of any corporate
ownership.

Still the MP3 format works well right now so why not keep using it and when
not - there is always Ogg (or Flac).

And Steve Ballmer and many other people with lots of marketing money really
hate the term "podcasting" so I think there will soon be alternative terms
from several sources. .NET-casting?  
PowerpointCasting? OpenCasting? Gnucast? PdCaster? Lapcasting or maybe
Topcasting? Creative Commons cc-casting?
