Audio blogging has been one of my favorite tools for building engagement with readers.
Those of you who have been around for a while know I first got into it when Blogger had their partnership with Audioblogger circa 2004-06 or so.
Back then if you embedded voice into your posts it made you really cool. Today it just makes you a regular blogger.
Anyhoo when Audioblogger went the way of the dinosaurs I spent time searching for and trying out a variety of alternatives.
A few years ago I started using Audioboom (previously Audioboo) for my audio blogging and overall I have been pretty happy with it with one exception.
The Android app was awful so I couldn’t do any sort of mobile audioblogging using the platform but that changed today.
I downloaded the new and improved Audioboom app for Android because I wanted to see if it provided a significant improvement over the old app or not.
The post below was recorded on my Galaxy Note 4 using the new app. The quality of the recording is far superior to what was rendered using the prior app.

@kristenmillerhewitt:disqus Thanks. I like the audio posts because I think voices help make the writer/speaker seem a little more real.
