Implimented the feeds into my desktop app, and implimenting recording/posting boos should be REALLY easy, surely it could work just like posting a twitpic : multipart-form with binary Just need the URL and paramters.
We're clearly very excited about Boo's and all their possibilities.
We are also working on the #inoneminute site for Skyponderer - it will be another 'BooTique' community led project to encourage lots of people to get involved as 'social journalists', with his brilliant inoneminute forumula, that's already being used by Radio London with great success. ( http://inoneminute.org)
We will, once these two projects are into Beta, be rolling out a Free CMS build of our BooTique community model, so that any 'special interest' groups and sub communities on AudioBoo can have a home for their particular interest.
I should stress this is not for profit. I've got to learn this stuff somehow :) Really enjoying it and a firm believer in Open Source software and the advancements it can bring - keeping 'the people' as tech savvy as the dig developer corporations.
we've set up BooScribe to transcribe interesting and useful Boo's. it's volunteer-powered and needs some assistance. we hope to open up the database to enable full sharing of transcribed Boo's. check it out at http://booscribe.flipstorm.co.uk/ (soon to be http://booscribe.com/)
We are certainly looking at some mini-interviews appearing as Boos. We have a number of high profile celebrity interviews which would work on Boo, recorded for RTI. Also listeners are enjoying the personal Boos we make. They are being picked up via Twitter/Facebook and the system works well. IMHO this is exactly that which social networking has needed. I'm saying it's the next Killer App. And I'm not always nice about new appa as anyone who heard me on London/UK stations will confirm before I moved to Poprad in Slovakia.
I guess people who want to build the real 'power apps' using Boo will need the API. We've been suprised how much of what we want to acheive has been possible by parsing feeds...and there was no reason to hold back as ours is simply a project to get people involved in Audio creativity. I'm really excited about it - it's a bedroom musicians dream to never actually have to finish a track but still be able to share snippets of it with friends :)
I think we'll see a huge amount of uses for Boo. I'm currently looking into the possibilities for collaborative creativity with them. A Boo sequencer made in Air would be easy enough I reckon....could even include a small patch synth of some sort - just 4 channels to lay boo's on, with edit regions and flexible placement, or start points. The idea would be similar to Hobnox's audiotool, in some ways, except the sound source would be 90% Boo.......there's issues though. Still, not giving up on the idea.
It's actually stopping me sleeping properly at the moment - I find the whole Boo thing quite an inspiration and revelation!
The API isn't out yet and it's all very new, so as of yet it is just the two sites.
We (the audiobooth team) are also working on inoneminute.org which will be a one minute interviewing service powered by boo. We've had interest from a couple of people involved with BBC radio, so we are very excited about the platform.
We have a couple of ideas for other directions to take the audioboo platform, but are open to suggestions.
