Netcasting (or "Webcasting") is an alternative to Web browsing. With Web browsing, users go out on the Web and look for information. With Netcasting, information is automatically delivered to users' desktops. Netcasting is often referred to as "push" technology because content is pushed from a Web server and delivered to users who have requested receipt of the content. Content may include the latest news, weather, stock quotes, or software updates. See "Webcasting."
