Fraser Speirs: Appcasting:

the practice of using the ‘enclosure’ feature of RSS 2.0 feeds to deliver updates and release notes for new software applications. The name Appcasting is by analogy with Podcasting, which is the practice of delivering audio files as RSS 2.0 enclosures.

The idea is this: the developer publishes an RSS 2.0 feed, each item of which describes a new release of a particular software product. The items’ descriptions may contain release notes or other information about what’s new in this release.

Brilliant idea. I think. ‘ have to think about it some more…

Update:
After some more thought, I’m convinced that this is an absolute killer idea… with legs to run. You watch.

Hats off to Fraser!
