Audioboo – BVB40

Rich Palmer — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 12:38:24 -0500
Blogs
iPhone users have the ability to voice blog right from their phones with the app called “Audioboo.”

With Audioboo they can share and record their audio with the world. According to the iTunes App Store description:

A built in recorder allows you to create audio up to 3 minutes in length and post that to your own account on the web. You can add titles, text, geolocation info and a photo to the recording before you upload it and we’ll save that with the file.

The web site allows “followers” to subscribe to the posts of their favorite Audioboo members through iTunes or RSS. Rich shared audio examples from:
David Bailey – DBFMBE
Len Edgerly

Pick up the application in the iTunes App Store.
(Note: Following this recording Rich discovered that it may be possible to use Audioboo with an iPod Touch while using an attached set of Apple in-ear headphones with mic.)
Views
Rich recommends that people interested in starting their own podcast — or those looking to improve one that they may already produce — should listen to Dave Jackson’s “School of Podcasting” and his newest show called “Power of Podcasting.” A members-only option is also available at the SOP.

Blues

Blogs AND Views
Wish you could simply email anything you wanted to an address and have it post correctly in your own blog? Posterous claims to be the “dead simple way to post everything online using email.” They say, “You can attach any kind of file and we’ll always do the right thing.”

Some of the key features include:

Post a series of photos in one message and it becomes an image gallery

Post a video file and it becomes embedded into a player and a download link right in your post

Post an audio file and it gets its own player and a download link

An RSS feed that can also be used to push your files out via a podcast or subscription feed

Cross-posting or auto-posting to many other social sites, including Twitter, Facebook, Plurk, Flickr, Vimeo, YouTube, and more.

Import existing blogs to the Posterous account

Another key feature that Rich likes: You can email your file to a service name, such as Twitter with the posterous address and it will end up on Twitter, as well… or any other of the recognized sites that you set up for posting. So, twitter at yourname.posterous.com will send it to Twitter, as well as post it to the Posterous site. If you want it to go to Twitter AND Facebook, send it to twitter+facebook at yourname.posterous.com. It will send to both.
