TMZ adds ‘audio comments’ to its blog
Steve Safran August 27th, 2007
Celebrity gossip blog (don’t pretend you don’t care) TMZ has added audio comments beneath some of its blog entries. Users can record their comments via a little interface, and then the site posts them right next to the traditional text comments. TMZ is filtering the audio comments, which are about the quality you would expect on a story about Britney’s parenting ability (this must be what Satan’s answering machine sounds like). Still - neat tech. (Not a single comment has been approved in the Michael Vick case as of this writing.)

LR should add this feature to “Get Lost”.
Then, we all could weigh-in on the pronunciation of y’all.

Funny - with the amount of money that TMZ has at their disposal, their implementation of audio commenting is pathetic.
MyChingo has been around since April, 2006 and does a better job than they, and it’s a free service developed by one guy.
MobaTalk is coming out next week, and then ANYONE can have text, audio, video, and dial-in voicemail comments on their own MobaTalk page (think along the lines of MySpace goes multimedia…yeah, now you have it)
