[edit] Technology
Audioboo allows smartphone users to record and playback digital recordings of up to 5 minutes long which can then be posted on the Audioboo website where users have their own pages or channels akin to Twitter or YouTube. These recordings are referred to as 'boos' and photos can be added to the boo from the iPhone library or your Android phone along with a title, geotagging and category tagging. Uploading an Audioboo can be done with an iPhone, a Google Android Phone, directly through the website or via boomail, a service that lets you upload a boo via email.
[edit] Popularity
Audioboo gained recognition through the Guardian Media 100 in 2010, as Audioboo's creator Mark Rock being featured at position 14 on the chart.[2].
[edit] Notable Users
- Stephen Fry[3] has promoted the website
- BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles has also promoted the site[4].
- Leo Laporte has been using it to document his trip to China.
[edit] Alternatives
Cinch is a similar service that doesn't impose a time limit, but is heavy in its advertising.
