Audio Blogs
I've spent 20 minutes online looking for an Audio blog that can handle my "needs". And because I'm such a cheapo, I didn't find any that suited me. (read: "where are the free audio blog services?!")
Oh well, I might as well share with you what I've found and how I'll handle my audioblog needs ....
First, Audioblog.com:
Second, audblog.com:
Now what! I'm looking for a place to upload audio files of focus group discussions (FGDs) I conducted yesterday. I'm having them transcribed so I'm looking for a way to share them more easily. There are around ten WAV files (I plan to convert them to mp3 first) and the largest file is more than 12 Mb! Turning out to be not easy ( ... uhm ... uneasy?).
So! do you know what i've decided to do? Use a Gmail account to share it! Haha! I'll open a Gmail account and send the username and password to the transcriber.
I haven't done it. I'm doing it in a while. What I plan to do is attach the large files to an e-mail and send it to the e-mail account's self. Will it work? I'll try to update when it works. And, if you're really interested, maybe I could share the account with you.
Post a comment if you're interested. Topic of FGD: m-commerce in microfinance. This is the result of my four weeks doing ACTUAL m-commerce transactions at two microfinance groups in Pagsanjan and Sta. Cruz Laguna.
Mabu-hey!

ayos!
it worked! I uploaded files to my new gmail account. Gmail was able to handle my 2.5 Mb mp3 files. ;-)
Sheryl from our QC office has downloaded it using their cable internet connection.
kewl! but not as cool as an audio blog.
in an audio blog, i'd be able to share audio files with anybody interested (without having to give any login information).
On the other hand, what i did with gmail was okay because it allows me to control access to the files.
playing around with technology, making things work ....

One more thing ... I'm please at how Gmail "syncs" with my outlook express.
I'm able to keep disk-copies of my Gmail messages (both inbox and sent items) on my laptop.
and it syncs! when i send emails from my outlook, that sent email will also be copied to my web gmail account. neat, huh?
yung nga lang, i don't get the benefits of the conversations-sorting of gmail.

Outlook is ok to a certain degree... Hehehe. Tell M$ to make it keep conversation threads... ;)
It's good that you were able to share your files... Parang interested din ako sa files na yan a!

Thanks, sky!
ginamit ko yung ripway. It worked well, took some time to figure out how it works. Was able to share the files to selected friends.
I might use it more often to share files in the future.

I tried out Anbu's referral website http://www.yousendit.com/. It worked quite well for a 600Kb and a 700Kb file. But was not able to send a 2.5Mb file. I tested it using a 56Kbps dial-up.
It's convenient for no-frills file sending. No need for sender or receiver to register anything. The file will be available for 7 days.
Try it out: http://www.yousendit.com/
See sample below. The file is a presentation about global m-commerce trends.
Thanks, Anbu!

hello! vemsan here.. i regularly visit your blog... (^_^)
i'm thinking of using the podcasting service mentioned above. i do have a blog in friendster (which is powered by TypePad). Iba pa ba yung TypePad.com sa Friendster's TypePad?? Di kasi ako maka log in even with proper credentials... HELP! thanks!

Vemsam- the typepad service is the same with the friendster typepad service. It is actually a tie up.
Ka-edong. There are alot of free services out there. For one --> audioblogger.com for your blogger site. Also try ourmedia.org or archive.org for multimedia files.

Hi Vemsan,
Can't log even with proper credentials? it might have something to do with my friend's comment about friendster and the philippines.
Anton,
thanks for the input. I did see audioblogger.com before but didn't see the free services. I'll try out ourmedia.org or archive.org some time. ripway.com has done me well so far.

Hi Ka Edong,
I'm willing to experiment and host your mp3 files, but I can only give around 20GB of bandwidth per month.
Your visitors can download the mp3 files, and they can also listen to it in the form of streaming audio.
(For example, if you visit viloria.com/elfilibusterismo and scroll to the bottom of the screen, you'll find a jukebox player with a few sound files.)

Thanks Manuel,
I'll keep that in mind for the time when the need arises.
It might be soon: I'm in the process of making some research materials available to the public.
