"ABBEY SEEKS TO SINK ALTERED BILL AND TOBY HELPS WHISTLE-BLOWER Abbey (Stockard Channing) is upset when an anti-abortion rider is attached to a foreign aid bill and asks Amy (Mary-Louise Parker) to work behind the scenes to torpedo the President's (Martin Sheen) proposal while Toby (Richard Schiff) gets in a legal bind when an ex-classmate (guest star Jeff Perry) turns whistle-blower on a lawbreaking chemical company. Meanwhile, the Daughters of the American Revolution wants to disown Abbey when they learn that her distant relative was more pirate than patriot."

I watch...bye...

"AOL Voicemail will cost $5.95 a month, but subscribers can expect to pay another $2 or so a month to their phone company to forward calls to AOL's message center.

How it works online: Home voice messages also show up as e-mails. Users click to hear the actual voice mail. The message can be stored in files, such as "calls from Mom," and forwarded to others.

On the phone, e-mails appear in the home voice mail queue and are read by a computerized voice. Customers can even send reply e-mails using spoken commands."

David Coursey at ZDNET also weighs in with more details.

I wonder if there is a web-interface to this to allow you archive your messages (kind of sounds like it above) and play them while surfing?

My interest is in offering blog-reader / radio-show-listeners the ability to respond to something on the blog or show with a voice message. I need to be able to take these responses and easily post them on the site for streaming and for playing on the Live show. I've not been able to find a service that does that for a reasonable price. My recent foray into AudBlog seems to be more for my own mobile audio reporting needs as opposed to something I can release to the general TNJT public.

This is just one component in my quest of a totally independent and mobile reporting architecture. Now I just need some clients that need a totally independent and mobile reporter?

Subscribe to the Daily Email and you'll get something in your email box (between 12-6 am ET) each day I post. More than just something, each and every post for the last day. We're trying out this service using Bloglet. If you dare, here's the form (or something like it) that will be over in the navigation in that Subscription area (bing).

I need something a little more flexible that allows me to send a bulletin out right away, mostly to listeners of the live show, to remind them about the show. That's really what I need, reminders for people that the show is going down. Add that to the list.
