You can now subscribe to channels by RSS. A seperate RSS feed is offered for each format the channel is available in, so that you could, for example have a 320×240 WMV feed and a 640×480 Quicktime feed. The video is linked to as an enclosure so these feeds are, in effect, podcasts.
For formats which are iTunes-compatible, a one-click subscription link to iTunes is also provided (using the itpc handler).
At present, the podcast feeds don’t require a password so aren’t secure. I intend to enhance this in future, by using either personalized encrypted URLs or http authentication.
This is quite a simple feature but it makes it incredibly easy to publish a non-public podcast.
The activity feed is an at-a-glance view of new users, channels and episodes. It’s inspired by Basecamp’s Project Overview page.
