Gabcast! Mobile Musings #5

Here are some numbers you can use to dial in to Gabcast, in addition to the 800# (which is listed here as well:

1.800.749.0632 – (USA only)
1.641.696.0518 – (Iowa, USA)
1.647.723.3682 – (East Canada, Toronto)
1.403.775.9947 – (West Canada, Calgary

As reported earlier, Audioblogger is discontinuing its wonderful service, and so we’ve been evaluating other similar services to see if there is a good replacement out there. So far, the winner is GabCast.

Gabcast has a few features that I liked even better than Audioblogger. Most notably, you call a toll-free 800 number to use the service, making it completely free. They also offer automatic RSS feeds, making this a viable solution for low-end podcasting.

You can hear an example of this in the previous post. This recording was made by just calling an 800 #, entering my channel # and password, and talking! Pretty slick. They even have a nice tool that automatically posts the audio posts to your blog (as shown here). There is a conference call option that sounds pretty neat. Stay tuned for a test of that.

If you know of other (preferrably free) audio blogging sites that have good features, post them here. Thanks!
