philcampbellwell of course i was brain farting about digits! ;0
Whatever way you want to do it but some kind of return code when uploaded maybe from the job that completed so we can write that on the card. give the card to the person - obviously this requires the net to be fast to get the thing uploaded but i'm just thinking if we can give them that - they go to the site, type in the code and it rewrites/redirects to the actual post. One simple action for the person that got interviewed.
Play with it! :)
thomasIt's going to be more than 3 digits ;-)
It would probably be an idea to break the suggestion down into two pieces:
1) if someone searches for the boo id it *should* come up with the boo, it doesn't at the moment. Your instructions would be tweaked to ask people to search for the ID or short code.
2) the ID for the audio clip is returned to the iphone after upload but not displayed, we'd have to come up with a neat way of displaying it - if you wanted to see it.
Alternatively if your boos are being tweeted then you could take the number from the boo URL; http://boos.fm/b1234, the ID is 1234.
Second alternative is to compress the integer ID into a higher base number (i.e. include letters, too). This would dramatically reduce the length of the ID and make it into more of a short-code. This would need the iPhone to display the code on recording.
Something for us to think about.
philcampbellSo on the audioboo.fm site you will have an area to enter the shortcode - it will take the user to the boo directly then. what do you think? - i think it's a real simple solution.
AudiobooI think that you'll find a millisecond is 1/1000th of a second, so there are 1000 in a second, not 100,000 in a second as your guest suggests. Someone really should have caught that...
