SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Phonecasting.com’s unique killer app allows publishers to assign an XML RSS feed to the website’s ‘Enter RSS Link’ field to get a vanity number for their podcasts.

1. Click on the Home Page and choose any of the ‘Popular Podcast’ offerings
2. Click on any one of the Blue ‘Call Me’ icons adjacent to the green ‘Listen by Phone’ link
3. In the ‘Call To’ field input your 10 digit phone number, either landline or cell
4. The second ‘Podcast’ field will have the actual podcast number you can call anytime you wish
5. The third field requires your account password, then

A phone number is automatically assigned to that podcast. When the latest podcast from your favorite publisher is made available on Phonecasting.com you’ll get a phone call to alert you. You can either listen to the podcast then and there, or call back and listen at your convenience. You can even schedule when you want your podcast to call you.

A London-based company, Oregan Networks announced that they are enabling the Skype features like message alert and Caller ID on standard television sets.

The company is specialized in embedded solutions for cable companies and consumer electronics brands. It means that the company is making software for set up boxes.

The system will allow the user to make alert on incoming call or message. However, the system is not Skype certified, so company did not collaborate with the peer-to-peer phone company to develop the system.

The Skype functionality is part of the company’s Media Browser software that incorporates a TV browser, IPTV client and a DLNA player and server. It is based on open standards for web content authoring and distribution.
