Podcasting is taking over! Companies around the world are integrating Podcasting Kit for SharePoint (PKS). This is a free add-in that can be downloaded from CodePlex and integrated with your environment. A few key features are:
· Users can easily share content when they create a podcast
· It will allow your users to download and watch podcast via their PC or mobile device.
· Integrated Silverlight viewer that enables you to view the podcast without downloading
· A subscription service utilizing RSS will notify your users when new material is available
· Users will have the ability to rate, leave comments and search material
· Integrated Zune software that helps users manage the content they want to consume
And many more features to come… thanks to the CodePlex and Academy Mobile community.
PKS has been integrated at Microsoft as Academy Mobile and has been very successful. An image of how it looks can be found below:
During the TechReady event earlier this month I had the pleasure of starring in a podcast to promote Academy Mobile.
