Web publishing is no longer just text and pictures. It's now possible to b eyour own Internet video station, without needing a huge server or bandwidth. Many different technologies work together to make it easy for people to subscribe to video or audio feeds from your web site, downloading large files to their desktops for viewing/listening at leisure.
Today, I stumbled upon a project to bring all these technologies together: Participatory Culture Foundation. From the web site:
"RSS and Bittorrent create the opportunity for anyone to make a television channel with full-screen video that can be watched by thousands or millions of people, with no broadcasting costs. Finally, real competition in television and truly independent television becoming the mainstream."
