Papaya Broadcaster Settings

As D’Arcy Norman noted, mobile broadcasting audio is adding an quality to online social presence that lots of folks are having a blast exploring and experimenting with in :

… it’s a happening.

Lots of interesting things are growing out of this sonic experiment .. like the twitterbot notification from @galagonwagon. If you put your TwitterID in the Stream Name (pictured above) the twitterbot will send you a notification on your mobile to let you know that you are live.  No guessing if you are on the air – twitterbot tells you.

A bunch of folks have been playing with Papaya Broadcaster broadcasting to – it works very well as a mobile, roving mic.  It isn’t free ($2.99), but I have yet to find a mobile application that does the same thing. If you have found one – let me know by leaving a comment with a link below.  If you want to give Papaya a run with iTouch or iPhone drop me a DM @grantpotter – I’ll help you get your voice on the air.

Taking It To The Streets

Tonight’s radio broadcast was a breathless romp through brilliant hours of freeform online broadcasting.  Programs are starting to take shape with submissions coming in with sequence and program names within file names – ex: kickitover_01_lostinthesupermarket.mp3, kickitover_02_eattherich.mp3

Did you miss a show?  Well, this is no DVR, this is no iPod, you can’t skip tracks … it’s a Happening.

Never fear if you missed a program – schedules will emerge and shows will rotate – bringing a mix of freeform and thematic programming.  I was at work when Up On The Sun from @noiseprofessor hit the tubes and was cranking his show in my office, loving his program when I got a DM saying that he was going live from his mobile with Papaya Broadcaster.  He went live to radio after his show to say hello … voices of live and in yer Tubes … something I hope we hear a whole lot more of in the coming weeks.
