Wow, PM when I first saw it, there were so many ways I could use this and it's really easy for me too. That was the point, I didn't have to "learn" new software to use it.

Here's what I plan to use it for:

1. By E-bay auctions. I can actually use my voice to sell my stuff. I can actually show my item from all sides without having to find SPACE on a photo webserver to show 10 or so pictures. Sometimes when I buy things on Ebay, it would be nice if I can sit back and HEAR the description instead of reading it. If you can put this on E-bay auction then . . . sweet.

2. Craigslist. I could do a whole garage sale on craigslist. I can do a slide of all the things I have for sale, how much it costs, everything.

3. I can create little mini-lessons on my blog to teach people about my topic. Or create online classes that I don't have to be THERE to do, and people don't have to READ everything because my voice is instructing them.

4. I can instruct someone who doesn't know how to use a feature in their software by giving them a play by play screen view and what the result should look like. I run a secretarial service and many of my clients want to know how to do things -- it's really hard doing that over the phone 'cause they have a hard time following allong.

5. I can create a scrapbook for my family of the vacation I went on with music and my voice over it.

6. My kids can create a slide-show presentation for school on a topic of their choice.

7. Or my kids and send pictures to their friends with their comments over it . . . like "Look at Tommy, he's such a dweeb!" (With a picture of Tommy doing a dweeby thing).

That's just 7 things off the top of my head and I just found out about the thing today from a craigslist web posting.

I'm sure you guys can think of other places you can use this. I'm sittin' here trying to figure out how to make money using this new thing. I'm off to E-bay . . . I wonder if more people will buy from me because they don't have to READ everything . . . just sit back and listen. Can you say . . . sales pitch?

I've actually used the product, and think it's pretty neat. I think one of the most useful applications is forwarding screen shots with voice notes to, say, IT folks, or a colleague. Although the personal applications are good too - I've used the beta version for sending photos to friends (with my verbal annotations) and have gotten great responses. It's a quirky way to share information, but it catches one's attention in the way that a voicemail or an e-mail can't.

Hi Matt,

I looked at qlipmedia myself. dont share the same enthusiasm as you about it. Personally i prefer typing in what i want to say. The whole voice record thing is an overkill for consumer market.
For the enterprise market what we need is voice notes for a powerpoint. Have you played with mixercast. They are a local startup here in Pune (india) and I dont think i have seen any coverage of them. I think they do a decent job if not a great job. Would sure love to hear what you think of them.
