You say tomato, I say iPadio

Filed Under Social Media, Twitter | Comments

Hey all, I was going through the section of my Seesmic dashboard I’ve entitled “Thought Leaders” when I saw a tweet from @AaronStrout .  I followed a link to his blog site where I browsed a couple of posts.  One of these posts mentioned a site called iPadio which allows it’s users to podcast via phone to create what iPadio has coined a “phlog.”  There are a host of other things that can be done with iPadio but I haven’t peeled any layers of the onion back . . . yet.

Click on the link below to take a listen of what will be the first of many phlogs from me and the rest of the Mobo Media team.

*Update, I went back and embedded the iPadio file directly into the post.  Check it out!
