  •   nfp's first phoneblog


      or even a 6:10 pm update on my whereabouts


    Yep, phoneblogging is here (link above).  Well, not part of Xanga yet, but in the blogosphere.  A startup called audblog is working with a number of established blogs, Blogger first, then Radio, MovableType, and LiveJournal...) to enable audioblogging from anywhere via a phone call.  Here's some info from their FAQ:


    What is it?

    audblog enables audio posting to your current blog site with any phone at any time from any where. Its easy and fun.

    How does it work?

    Actually, it is simpler than publishing a text post. You call the number, record a post, then your blog is updated with an audblog icon and a link to your recorded audio. Super simple.

    How much is it?

    audblog is offering a FREE trial to experience the ease of audio posting, ie. Audio blogging. The trial allows you to create one FREE post. Then for an initial low subscription rate of $3 a month you can create 12, two minute audio posts. Additional posts may be purchased at any time in blocks of 12 for 3 dollars. You will have 12 posts available every month.


    Will aud(io)blog(ing) ever be a part of Xanga? 


    I don't know.  It appears that the audblog service needs to integrate one's blog credentials with the audblog, meaning that Audblog, Inc. would have to coordinate with Xanga, Inc. to make it happen.  Will that  happen?  Hey, I'm still waiting for the Xanga store to open!


    Meanwhile, I might try audblog out on my Blogger site for a while and copy the link here as I did above, if for no other reason, than to 'capture a moment'.
