Testing new technology on a Friday afternoon

In our latest attempt to bring local news quickly, effectively and digitally, I am working on a new experiment with the creators of the program Ipadio. This application, which was first developed for the Apple iPhone, allows anyone, but mainly journalists, to interview individuals anywhere in the world and instantly upload their audio interview to a Website, Facebook page, blog or any social media page online.

When I say "anyone," I mean anyone with an iPhone or cell phone equipped with the Google Android server that can download applications. Ipadio can be downloaded to a user's phone and effectively turns the phone into a personal radio broadcast. Even phone call interviews with elected officials can be recorded and edited on your phone as if you were sitting right next to the person in a broadcast booth.

To help better understand this technology, I conducted a short welcome audio interview with myself and uploaded it to our blog. Hopefully this technology is cool and my knack for creating something "cheesy" hasn't just gotten the best of me.

Take care.
