audioblog: not just voicemail @01:23 AM
from the discourse on audblogging over at radio.weblogs.com.
Think of audioblogging as "voice mail to the world". Why don't we see the same debate about voice mail versus email? We actually make the decision to choose one over the other all the time. That's because the maturity of those technologies make it very natural and easy to choose the tool that gets the job done. Convenience and accessiblity are also some of the factors in this case as will be in the future in the "when do I audioblog or text blog" debate.
I think that this is the wrong idea. There is a reason email has caught on - it is more efficient in many ways that "voice mail." Audioblogging should not be limited to sound that comes from a phonecall. There is a potential that extends beyond that limitation of a voice call, yet the emphasis right now seems to be on moblogging audio via a just that. However, from both a social, commercial and artistic standpoint, the possibilites of audio on mobile devices and using sound in blogs are far greater. How about posting sound to a blog that is tagged with a certain (semantic?) location - if someone who's mobile device is communicating with your (blog) database, comes within the bounds of this semantic location, they can either stream and listen to the audio associated with the locaton, or add to your database. I like the idea of having blogs inform and define location based sound collections.

Two sound installations recorded primarily at
Calumet Farms, in Lexington, Kentucky, the home of eight Derby winners, weave the screams, whinnies, nickers, snorts, and blustery blows of Thoroughbreds into two mood pieces, “Blood Horse” and “Dead Heat,” that capture the horse at rest and on the track. Through May 3. (I-20, 529 W. 20th St. 212-645-1100.)
