audioboo.fm - Basic audio plumbing in beta
The nice Brits over at audioboo.fm agree with us that audio has been left behind in the recent blast of social networking advances. If these guys have their way, that's about to change. With integration with Facebook and Twitter and apps for iPhone and Android, audioboo.fm looks to be ready for the next wave.
For some reason, audio recordings are called "boos" on the site, hence the domain name. I dunno, maybe you have to be British to get it...
I tried the Twitter integration and, after a few missteps, was successful in sending a shout-out to my tweeps.warning: as of early May, the site is still beta.My first attempt seemed to lock up my display and I had to reboot (you must accept/deny the request for location before continuing). Otherwise, it was a good experience, if a bit clunky.
I used my netbook built-in mic, which requires a java applet download. After a few clicks, I had my audio content uploaded and ready. Another few clicks and the tweet was sent as well. Welcome to tweet shout-outs!
Next, we tried to find some cool audio. They have a "featured boos" section for that. Good thing, as the search is limited. They have tags and some kind of text search. I tried entering a location search using a city and state. Surprisingly, it did find content right in my small town, but did not give any nearby hits. New York as a search term is better, lots of results. Entering random words gave us a few creative "boos" to enjoy: a drawn finger-puppet, recorded arguments, personal diary entry, ice cream truck music.
Once I find my iPhone and pick out my new Android phone, we'll get to the mobile review.
