POSTED: Tuesday, July 26, 2005
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The University of Florida wants to reach the rapidly growing number of people using mp3 players such as Apple Computer's popular iPod.
So, now it's offering podcasts on the university's news Web site.
School officials said UF is the first state university in Florida to offer the new broadcasting format for university news.
Podcasting allows people to download audio files from the Internet and listen to them on an mp3 player wherever and whenever they like.
UF will begin podcasting weekly updates of campus events beginning with the fall semester.
UF's podcasts are available on its news site,
news.ufl.edu under the link labeled "Audio." Others are also available on iTunes, as well as at
odeo.com, another podcast directory.
