Audlink is now more popular than Audblog (according to Alexa). Wow!! This is an interesting bit of information. My educated guess is that the addition of the "The ten most-recent public messages on the system:" section on the Audlink home page is paying off big time for Audlink's reach and branding.  Nothing like a little community to keep folks coming back for more.  I know this simple community Audlink feature keeps me coming back more than once a day to the Audlink hompage. I hope Audblog is paying attention to the potential of whats going on here with community.  IMHO, Noah needs to add some form of audioblogging/audio messaging community to his system soon. This would include adding some easy way for listeners to find, sync and download the new content his system is producing(at a minimum hourly) as a community on his main site, Audblog.com.  Adding that kind of feature to the main site along with other community features such as SAM over RSS or ATOM feeds, at a minimum would increase the exposure of his brand , increase the traffic to his main site and potentially increase his community's content inclusion into next generation rich media aggregators with very little effort or extra work from the Audblog customer(if done right of course).  Noah, if your interested in working together as a community on the next level of the global audio messaging community of the Blogosphere, what I'm calling the BlogAudSphere I would be happy to discuss.  The best and most efficient way to implement this audio messaging layer is by working together as a community.   Audlink: What's New 12.26.03 Audlink is now more popular than Audblog (according to Alexa). Woot woot! 7:33:54 PM  comment []    trackback []     The BlogAudSphere Performer In the BlogAudSphere we the listener get to hear sometimes what the artist is producing during the creative process.  The raw, unsensored and unedited audio as it is being worked out right before us by the original performer.  Maybe someday soon the performer will be able to bring us and our feedback into the creative process loop.  Wouldn't that change make for an interesting final product?   Check out this audio message from an audioblogging performer working out her craft.  I think you will agree that this girl has a great voice and can play the guitar!!: Listen:  0401011222 Message from the Audlink community. 4:27:43 PM  comment []    trackback []     The birth of the BlogAudSphere Well it wasn't really much of a birth.  I just purchased the domain BlogAudSphere.com.  The BlogAudSphere domain will be the space we use to get to the next level in audioblogging, the building of the global audio messaging community of the Blogosphere.  The first thing I plan on doing is parking the open specs on SAM there.  SAM is just one of the building blocks of the BlogAudSphere. I see the BlogAudSphere evolving very quickly over the year with a lot of experimentation of ideas as we move the meaning of the global audio messaging community forward. It will probably take at least 24 hours for the domain to go live so stay tuned. 10:05:15 AM  comment []    trackback []     Laporte back on radio He'll also be available via streaming audio too. Live radio station streaming is so analog/broadcast radio like.  How about offering the show in a syndication audio form.  This way we can all tune into his feed and download and listen to the segments of his new show that look interesting.  I really don't have the time or attention to listen to live streams for any length of time nor do I have the desire to listen to 3 hours of tech talk radio. Laporte back on radio. Leo Laporte is back on the radio starting this weekend, this time on a station down in Los Angeles. He'll also be available via streaming audio too. For those who've never listened to Leo, he's one of those guys who knows a lot about Macs, Windows, and Linux (I don't know how he does it) and loves to help people learn computers. Not exactly for the developer crowd, but I liked him a lot more back when he was on radio. The format seemed to suit him best there.
