Audio Comment System
|
Your blog already has a written comment system. Why not allow your visitors to leave an audio comment too? Since not too many blogs have enabled audio comments, the novelty will help bring in more visitors to your site.
Here are places where you can learn more about allowing your visitors to leave comments at your site in the form of voice recorded messages:
MyChingo.com [which will be eventually replaced by MobaTalk.com] gives you both public and private options. Public means the recorded voice comment can be immediately accessed by everyone online, while private gives you the chance to moderate and choose which ones are for public consumption.
There’s a free package, where your visitors can leave 2-minute recordings, and a paid service ($3.95 monthly or $45 annually) which allows messages of up to 30 minutes long. Two minutes is already quite generous, actually, so I hope the people at MobaSoft will be able to find a sustainable business model for this service.
Vimas.com has a $300 solution. The demo version allows 20-second recordings.
What’s so great about audio comments? If you listen to Philippine AM radio, you’ll be amazed at how vocal people can be. While Filipinos tend to be quiet in person, over the telephone even the most introverted of introverts can magically transform into a potential senatorial candidate campaigning for the upcoming May 2007 elections.
The same thing will happen out here on the web, what with internet cafes now attaching headset mics to most of their computers. So go ahead, have fun, and give your visitors a voice online.

"Audio Comment System"
First Posted: March 18, 2007 | Filed in: Web Traffic
I’ve sent myself a sample voice message. It’s not that immediate, since you’ll have to wait while your recorded message gets uploaded to their servers. As far as actually hearing the message is concerned, there may be some lag before their servers make your audio message available.
If there were a much faster service, this could take off.

Is that your voice???
I mean the tagalog Noli summary…
Hi Ikaw Yan,
Yes, that’s my voice when groggily speaking in modulated Tagalog at about 6am. In the audio comment box above, I made a sample recording in English as ManuelV.
Wow Manuel, you must be a pretty impatient guy
- within less than one minute your audio comment was available for everyone to hear.
