We’re close to releasing We have released some more plumbing work at audioboo.fm and I thought I’d share with you what’s coming. Now, it’s going to look a big dreary at first since this is a functional release rather than a visual one. Hopefully the new designs we’re working on will come out shortly after. [...]
iPhone App Release 1.3
January 9 10
Took us a while but version 1.3 of audioboo got sent off to Apple at 4.30pm on the 8th January. Based on past experience, we thought it wouldn’t be okayed for 3/4 weeks. We were then pleasantly surprised to receive an email at 11.17pm the same day saying that they had approved the update. Kudos [...]
Auto created podcasts anyone?
December 22 09
We’ve been experimenting with weird and wonderful stuff today and it’s looking good. A few weeks ago someone here mentioned how great it would be to easily create a ‘best of the month’ podcast from audioboos people had created. That way it’s just one download in iTunes and you get a quick caffeine fueled highlight [...]
Browser upload & record (the story continues)
December 16 09
About 10 days ago we tentatively rolled out the ability to record in your desktop browser or upload pre existing audio files. That now works with all audioboo accounts at audioboo.fm.
What we’re now testing, for Pro users (currently The Royal Opera House and Open University but a few more are on the way), is the [...]
Browser Boos
December 2 09
When we launched Audioboo way back in March (and that seems like a lifetime ago), we got a wee bit of flak from peeps because it only worked on the iPhone. Fair enough really. People wanted Android, they wanted Blackberry, they wanted Nokia, Windows Mobile, Sony Ericson and all the rest. They wanted audioboo for [...]
The Media Festival 09
November 25 09
I was luckly enough to be in Manchester last week at The Media Festival, which attracted a whole host of talented speakers from TV, internet, politics and more. I spoke on a panel entitled Radio Reinvented, along with Chris Kimber from the BBC, Jon Gaunt from Sun Radio and Fred Bolza from Sony Music. What [...]
Digital Mission to LA & SF
October 16 09
Well, we’re nearing the end of our visit to these two fine cities and I have to say it’s been great. The contrast between them could not have been greater and the meetings we’ve had have been really useful in helping us map out our US strategy. We’ve met Sony Pictures, Lionsgate, Warner Bros, Facebook, [...]
Political Boos
September 24 09
We’ve been surprised here at how politicians haven’t jumped on the possibilities offered by audioboo. Quick updates to keep your constituents informed on what you’re doing for them, requests for feedback on policy announcements. We thought it was down to the fact they were all on 15 year old Nokia’s to try and keep their [...]
Queued upload
September 18 09
Our most requested feature just started working on our iPhones here at Audioboo HQ. It’s been put off and off as other things got in the way but now it looks like our beta testers will get their grips on it next week.
Queued upload does what is says. After you’ve recorded a boo, it gets [...]
