Talkshoe now works on iPhone

Monday, February 25th, 2008

Talkshoe, the audio conferencing tool we told you about a few weeks ago, has been optimized for the iPhone. We’ll try it out this week (we had problems with the regular desktop/laptop interface during our experiments) and let you know what we find.

Recording conference calls with TalkShoe

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

SafariScreenSnapz001.jpgThis afternoon a few of us experimented with TalkShoe, an online conference call recording application. It’s not perfect, but it has promise. If you ever wanted to host your own call-in program, here’s your chance.

With TalkShoe, anyone with a browser and a decent Internet connection can listen to your show. You can also download a program and add your own voice to the conversation. This application also allows the host to mute and unmute other speakers, kind of like a switchboard. We had problems with this software but eventually got it up and running. If you’re not by a computer, no problem–you can also participate by phone over a (toll-based) conference line. We had better luck with this.

TalkShoe is currently free–not sure if that’s going to apply forever but for now it gives us a chance to experiment with it and see what we might do with this technology. One possibility I’m thinking of is hosting the StrateReaders conference calls with it, and providing the recorded calls to anyone who’d care to listen later. What other things might CRL do with this?
