Apple offers Podcasting server
Apple is positioning OS X Tiger as a 'podcasting server' for education markets.
Basically they are touting the built in blog software that comes with Tiger as transforming a Xserve into a 'podcasting
server.' While technically this is correct, given this reasoning any server that has blogging software installed on it
(i.e. Wordpress or Movable Type but in OS X's case it is Blojsom) is transformed from a mundane
server into a podcasting server.Apple does mention that this 'podcasting server' is powered by Blojsom, but the whole thing smacks of trying to pull a fast one on someone who may not know that any old server can do what Apple is claiming is unique to Tiger.

I don't get the sense that they are claiming that this is unique to them, but rather that it has the capability out of the box.

Oh please. Its called marketing. If you aren't smart enough to understand that any server is capable of serving podcasts, then you probably shouldn't be in charge of buying a multi thousand dollar sever in the first place.

Not just any server either. With just a small bit of effort you can easily get most of the major blog applications up and running on Mac OS X client versions as well.

Smart marketing, retwist an old idea. Regardless, Blojsom spits out horrid code, they should have gone with wordpress, or something with standards in mind.
