WorldVoice Radio Offers Tweet-like Experience for Audio

Positioning itself as a sort of hybrid between podcasts and Twitter, RnSK Softronics‘ WorldVoice Radio iPhone app allows users to share short audio messages or musings. Users set up their own in-app station, which is categorized geographically and assigned a personal “frequency” identification, which can be supplemented with personal information and a unique icon if desired. This information is then made available in the app’s station directory, which users can browse and save selections from via a favorites list. Audio dispatches are recorded through the iPhone’s mic, with an obvious Twitteresque emphasis on brevity—though longer recordings can be imported from any computer if so desired. One can imagine WorldVoice joining Twitter within a citizen journalist’s toolkit, though it remains to be seen whether that rare, concise insight possible via the latter can be squeezed into 30 seconds’ worth of speech.
