The Odeo Blog announced a new version of the Odeo personal podcasting service last night. Among the improvements, they tell us:
everyone can now record audio with the browser-based Odeo Studio – or via the phone. Either way, your voice gets posted as an MP3 on an Odeo page, and from there you can easily share it
Wait a minute? Via the phone?
whenever you fancy using your phone to create a recording, just dial +1 415-856-0205 and follow the voice prompts.
Let’s marry this to the Yahoo! announcement I mentioned on Thursday and we can see that it will soon be possible for a group leader or tour operator, for example, to record a short podcast from anywhere in the world and have it distributed to a group of subscribers almost immediately by RSS feed, email or direct to their mobile phones.
And the great thing is you do not need an advanced degree in computer sciences to achieve this extraordinary feat of communication. Just pick up the phone.
The Odeo number is in America but if you use a VOIP service such as Skype, this will hardly break the bank.
