Leonard Witt in "Hello Audio Blog, Goodbye Broadcasting" (PJnet.org):
Hello, all. This is my first audio blog. I am not sure of its future uses. However, I do know this takes all the timing advantage away from the big broadcast companies. Here right now, just as Alexander Graham Bell changed everything, so will this and so will you. [..]
It costs $9 at Audblog for 12 posts a month for three months. Nine bucks and you can post to a worldwide audience. What´s it cost CBS to to set up a broadcast?
How does it work? You pick up your phone, call Audblog, punch in a pin number, say what you want into the phone and presto it is done. [..]
Remember this is still primitive. Think of the possibilities in the future. Amazing. [..]
Example here (MP3 by Alexander Graham Witt). See also the entries in the category "Audioblogs".
Speaking of audioblogging, I've been audioblogging from Uday and Qusay's old palace in Mosul, Iraq. No garden variety political rants, just fiddle and mandolin tunes recorded over a laptop in the early morning hours. A much better use of the palace than what Saddam's boys used it for.
Give it a listen, let me know what you think.
Cheers,
GT
