Audioboo – A Quick Easy Way to Update Everyone With Audio
By Dave | July 16, 2010
Trying to keep up with all your online communications and get them working well together can be a bit confusing at times. The latest method of communication I’m trying out is Audio – not exactly rocket science in itself, but it’s quite good to know that you can make a quick recording from your iPhone and thanks to Audioboo within a minute it can be surfing the web across Facebook, Twitter and many other services.
My Audioboo Page
So you can create a message on your iPhone (up to 5 minutes long) and it will appear in your Audioboo site – it’s a bit like a blog for Audio recordings.
This is my WordPress Tutorials Audioboo page if you want to see what I mean (there’s not much on it as I’m still testing it out!)
Now the clever part is that you can then set Audioboo up to automatically send the message to Facebook – either a Facebook Profile or even better a Facebook Page. You can also send it to Twitter, a Tumblr blog, Friendfeed and Posterous. From Posterous you can then divert it to lots of other Internet Services. So the mind really does boggle!
So this surely has to be one of the quickest ways of creating content for your blog or website.
Now if you want to actually include an Audioboo recording on your WordPress self hosted blog then you just need to grab the “embed” code from your Audioboo page and drop it into your WordPress Blog (html tab) post. In fact that’s exactly how I have inserted the recording below.
As well as recording from your iPhone when you’re on the go – you can also just record directly from your headset or microphone on your home computer – this will probably give a better recording. My recording below is direct from my iPhone.
Let me know what you think by commenting below – in the meantime I’ll conduct a few more tests…

Hi, Do you use the free wordpress package? I have recently tried copying and pasting the Audioboo embedded code into the wordpress HTML however it failed to work. Do you know why? Could you offer any suggestions?
I look forward to your reply.

Hi Suzie
I use the self hosted version of WordPress which is similar but does have lots of differences in features. However I would have thought the Audioboo code should work fine in the free hosted WordPress providing you paste it into the html section of the post rather than the Normal view.
If anyone knows anything more about this please leave a comment.
Thanks – Dave
