Instant audio podcasting with Anchor

Seems that audio broadcasting is the new trend these days.  After Zcast, here's Anchor for iOS.  Think of it as a mix of Vine and Twitter for Audio (duration is set at 2 minutes)

The app Anchor is really nice and easy to use.  The best thing, for now, is the possibility of interacting between the users.  You can reply to any "waves" with your voice.

I've made some tests with my guitar and mandolin to see (hear...) if the quality is good enough for music content.  Anchor is about posdcating on the go and it's the perfect format when you want share with the world a quick recording.  For musicians, it's a great tool to get comments on your latest idea.

The interface is nice and neat.  Like all other social network, you can invite friends, like, share, etc...  The only minor issue I've found is that you cannot login from multiple devices at the same time.  I installed Anchor on my iPad and my iPhone but each time I log into on, I get disconnected from the other.  That something I'll report to the Anchor team a bit later.

Vingle, very community

We all have many online accounts: Twitter, Facebook, G+, Instagram, etc...

As a blogger and Youtuber, I use those tools to promote my work over the web.  The main issue is that my posts get lost into thousands and thousands others and getting some exposure is really hard.

Last week, I was exploring the web to find some place where it was a bit less crowded and where the community would be friendly.  I've found one called Vingle.net (http://www.vingle.net/patrickballeux)

There is an iOS app and also an Android app which makes it easy to share on the go.  The interface is nice and the basic idea is that you create cards having pictures and links to share with the others.  I'm slowly building my account with Vingle.  Of course, Vingle.net is also available in your favourite browser.

I like the card idea where you can join pictures with you link and some text.  It's then easy to share the card with others, Twitter and Facebook.

It's a perfect mix of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
