About Audioblogger: Well, it's easy. I'll give it that. I just picked up the phone and dialed a number, punched in my passcodes and started chatting. You can hear the results by hitting the "Play this audio post" button above.
Within seconds, I posted a brief audio blog via blogger.com's free service, Audioblogger.com. The sound quality leaves a lot to be desired....it's to be expected: after all, it's a telephone, not a recording studio.
Other than the ease-of-use factor, audioblogger gets props for doing all the programming. I didn't have to have access to my computer to post my audio blog. All it took was me and my phone, which means I can audio blog from anywhere. No fancy technology required.
It's fairly easy for me to go in after the audioblog and type in program notes, like I'm doing right now. For example, the original post didn't have these words, or a title, just the button. I'm doing this in "Edit" mode, after the audio is already live & posted...so the button just hangs there out of context of any description.
So bottom line: there are plusses and minuses on this review/test of audioblogger:
- Plusses: Cheap, easy, fast, available from anywhere, no programming required.
- Minuses: Crackly sound, audio button posted out of context -- no program notes or titles in the blog post.
Now, I wonder how it will pick up in an RSS feed? Will it post an automatic enclosure? I'll post now and find out!
