The voice feature on utterli works wonderfully for me. I work, surf, work, blog, work...you get the picture. Eventually our tech heads in NY will catch on to certain sites and block them. Unless they do some sort of upgrade it's most likely we'll never see them again. (They’re a little forgetful of the sites they block. ;P)
Regardless of how integrated my life may have been before the block (example: gamertagpics.com) I will inevitably turn away from it and jump on the next available cool site during the day. Basically any nifty new service that stays nicely under the radar until it becomes so popular the entire firm nationwide is using it.
Because I can listen to utterli feeds on any LAN line or on the go on my cell I don't ever feel truly blocked. (Such as the time my internet was cut off at home! *gasp* horrid.)
In other words I’m always connected, always informed and always in touch with my friend’s regardless web access at home or at work.
When Audioblogger became available to Blogger users I used it voraciously. I had no idea what I was doing and I really didn’t care. My friends loved to listen in and laugh at me and that was all I cared about, but there was so much missing back then. I wished I could listen to my friends blogs, or that I could listen to their audio posts, that I wasn’t limited to 15 minute posts and that I could back everything up somewhere and not worry that everything could disappear one day.
I’m not sure what happened, but it and all my posts disappeared. (Actually I know exactly what happened, but that’s not the point.) Had I been a little savvier I would have saved the mp3 files myself, but there was no easy way for a simple minded and barely computer literate person like myself to do this (Yes, I want the attention. Your response should go something like this: “Oh no Maha, you’re so smart! It’s Audioblogger’s fault. For Shame Audioblogger, for shame.”) Again, this and for so many other reasons is why utterli’s voice feature works so well and once it catches on will work so well for so many people around the world for SO many different reasons. I think the media is catching on to this not only because of the “citizen journalist” potential, but because socially it’s going to rock peoples socks off.
Yeah, so not exactly an intellectually stimulating reply here, but I think I made my point. The audio, text, mms capabilities & multifunctional access is why this site works better than any other that I’ve come across. The only problem I see right now is that it’s not easy to use and first time users might be a little apprehensive. I’ve met quite a bit of resistance, but I’m hoping in time the tweeks and updates will help me draw more friends in.
