Podcasts
Well another way to waste hugh amounts of time looking at your computer (perhaps wasting is not the right word - spending?). Very easy to get caught up in another health report from Dr Swan on the ABC. Some podcasts would be a lot more interesting with the video component - a lecture on maps from the British Museum for example. What would be the difference between a library making a video and embedding it on their website/facebook(as per last weeks online videos) and making a video and calling it a podcast? There is so much information out there ... and so little time.

Whilst video clips can be more engaging than just audio alone, the addition of the video component means the file size will be a lot larger - meaning it would take longer for people to download or require a faster internet connection to stream it live. Therefore, simple audio for when images are not required makes sense. It also means it can be stored on portable music devices such as MP3 players or iPods.
