Just this morning I got asked about webcasting vs. podcasting. Well, here’s an example of how to use webcasting. Apparently, Sam Scott, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Corn Products International, will deliver a slide presentation via webcast at 11:15 a.m. Eastern Time on May 18 at the Harris Nesbitt Agriculture and Protein Conference in New York.

Corn Products International will provide a live Webcast of the slide presentation through the Company’s Web site at http://www.cornproducts.com/ . Participants are encouraged to log on to the Webcast link about 10 minutes prior to the start of the presentation. A replay of the presentation also will be available through the Company’s Web site.

That is webcasting. Cool, but you do have to be on your computer to watch or listen live and even for the replay since this is streamed. Podcasting would be saving that presentation as a file that we can download to our computer hard drive and load into our iPod or other digital device. Then we can watch and/or listen whenever and wherever we want.

Kind of like I’ll be doing on a plane tomorrow.
