Orb is a free service that lets users access their personal media from any web-enabled device. Users install Orb Media on their home computer, and configure it to know the locations of music, photos, videos and other multimedia content. This content can then be accessed via web-enabled devices. Podcast Support The new Orbcasting service puts Orb's device-tailored transcoding into service for podcasters. Podcasters and video bloggers can add an Orbcasting buttons to their site that will let Orb users automatically add the podcast to their Orb interface, letting them listen to the podcast from any Web-connected device with a streaming media player.

We created this functionality for Podcasters and their fans, so let me know what you think of it, what you want to see supported in future versions, etc. We're basically trying to make it one-click-easy to add your fave Podcasts to Orb - something I and other users do manually today. Most recently, I've added Prairie Beacon News at http://odeo.com/channel/2356/view, which I discovered thanks to Bob's writing in to us here at Orb. I'm looking forward to listening to it on my phone on the drive home this evening. And that's a decent example of how Orbcasting tries to extend the Podcasting experience. I could use my iPod, sure, but that'd mean planning ahead. Orbcasting brings spontaneity and real-time access from anywhere into the picture. Posted by: ianmccarthy Post a comment |
