iTunes influences

We posted our latest updated podcast feed onto our website yesterday evening at 16:45 BST (26 August 2005). Since then we have been closely monitoring the ways in which the file has been downloaded. For a period of just 7 hours, our log results make interesting reading:

• there had been 75 downloads of our latest podcast (icast260805.mp3);
• 72 download requests were via systems using iTunes 4.9 (Mac or Windows);
• 51.4% of computers were running iTunes on a Mac, 48.6% on Windows;
  
• 3 download requests had been made via systems using iPodder.
  

If this trend continues, it would be safe to conclude that iTunes appears to have had a very significant influence on podcasting. We will keep you posted!
