YouTube
YouTube is one of the most popular online video
streaming websites. YouTube lets users view video
clips, TV shows, and movies. Users can create their
own channels and upload videos for others to view
and share. YouTube videos include online tutorials
to help a viewer study a specific topic. It is a useful
marketing channel for businesses to launch and
promote their products. YouTube also provides
options for users to download videos and watch them offline. Users can also earn revenue by
monetising their content uploaded on YouTube.
Podcast
A podcast is a program made available in
digital format for download over the Internet.
A podcast series usually features one or more
recurring hosts engaged in a discussion about a
particular topic or current event. For example,
an episodic series of digital audio or video files
that a user can download to a personal device to
listen to at a time of their choosing. Podcasting

is the preparation and distribution of audio files using RSS feeds to the devices of subscribed users.
Streaming applications and podcasting services provide a convenient and integrated way to manage
a personal consumption queue across many podcast sources and playback devices. Many podcast
series provide an associated website with links and show notes, guest biographies, transcripts,
additional resources, commentary, and even a community forum dedicated to discussing the show’s
content. A podcaster normally buys this service from a podcast hosting company like SoundCloud or
Libsyn.
