Say what?

The world of audioblogging, or phonecasting is starting to gather pace at the moment, so I thought I’d do a quick test of one service – ipadio – brought to us via our friends at Nemisys.  

ipadio lets anyone record a message via their mobile phone (but I presume landline too) which can then be published straight to the web for others to listen to.  Another service – audioboo – works in a similar way, but only via iphones at the moment.

The really nice thing is that you can then pick up this content and drop it into another webpage, or even your facebook or twitter account – meaning that many people could receive the mini broadcast at once…

How could this work for positive activities?

There could be a number of uses of this technology:

• Activity providers recording details of the activities that are to take place..
• Updates or even notices of cancellation
• Live broadcasts / commentry from places to go, things to do
• Feedback from people attending…

At the moment, the aspects around how this could be a tool for positive activities providers to quickly, cheaply and easily get a message out are most relevant – any takers?  Surely someone could do better than my first garbled effort (which does raise a point that people need to maybe practice their phonecast before dialling the number!).

Have a go!

Both services mentioned are currently free to use, and a doddle to set up – so the best bet to get on and start testing… 1, 2, 3!  If anyone would be interested in more research as to how this could aid with the positive activity agenda then just drop us a line – quite literally!
