If you are presenting news or real-time information, this feature alone can give you a serious edge. Furthermore, when you deliver your content as a Netcaster channel, you know that all of your readers have the browser features they need to show off your site to best advantage. This section introduces the Channel Channel, a site that illustrates all the features of channels and provides tools for building your own channel.
Channels are push.
Channels are content that is pushed to your subscribers on a regular basis. Think of them as special web sites, the content of which gets pushed to the subscriber's computer at a scheduled time, so that they can view a wide array of rich content while off line. They can unplug their laptop, hop on a train, and still be browsing your channel without any network connection. Channels are dynamic. Channels are compelling for more reasons than this, however.
