Most are familiar with the concept of audio feedback from the Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code, but that is a podcast, not a blog. Currently users input their audio comments into the Commentcasting system by calling an Irish number +353 76 6020927 and entering the “extension” of the relevant blog. The 076 area code is for a VOIP provider. I would prefer to see a Java Applet with a PTT button instead in the comment section of the blog post. A similar applet allowing realtime half duplex converstions between multiple users exists, and indeed was popular back in the dot com days on many sites. Apart from saving time using existing VOIP server side wave creation, the only reason I can see for using a “landline” is to make a profit by using a premium number (not 1550, but maybe 0818).

Well done to Robin Blandford on this and it really looks like a good addition to podcasting. What I especially like about it is that it doesn’t require a broadband connection to interact with a podcast or the website it is hosted on. I bet there’ll be lots of uses for this technology that Robin never considered. That’s one of the things I love about tech evolution. [...] [...] CommentCasting has been born.
