A new service from BlogTalkRadio... Call their special phone number: 646-200-0000. It records the call. When you're done it creates an RSS 2.0 feed with an enclosure that's an MP3 of the call. The address of the feed is a function of the phone number you called from. I just called in a podcast from my Nokia N95, which they added to this feed: http://cinch.blogtalkradio.com/8583429663 That's all there is to it! No registration. They have a web page for it, but it's completely unnecessary. It's the new application of RSS that I wrote about on Saturday. It's brilliant because of it's so simple.
Hats off to the BTR guys, they've come up with something truly useful that's also very simple. Could it be simpler? I don't see how. The Obama Express. My latest piece on Huffington. If you like it, please feel free to pass it on. |

"RSS was born in 1997 out of the confluence of Dave Winer's 'Really Simple Syndication' technology, used to push out blog updates, and Netscape's 'Rich Site Summary', which allowed users to create custom Netscape home pages with regularly updated data flows." - Tim O'Reilly.
