Abstract

First, the phenomenon of blogging changed the rules for online publishing: Now, podcasting has opened the world of online broadcasting to anyone with a PC, a microphone, and a Net connection. But podcasting isn't just for fun and games. Plenty of podcasts focus on music, talk-radio style banter and humor, but podcasts also now serve key purposes for news organizations, businesses, even politicians trying to connect with voters.

Also in this issue: "Bringing Haptics to Consumers," by Jan Krikke.
