[edit] BlogTalkRadio

Blogtalkradio is a web-based platform that allows anyone to host a live call-in Internet broadcast using a computer and a phone.[1] [2] BlogTalkRadio is entirely web-based and requires no client download.[3]

The service allows up to five callers at a time[3], although unlimited participants can listen in.[4]

Shows stream directly from the host page during live broadcasts and are archived as podcasts.[3] Previous shows can be streamed, downloaded directly or subscribed to as podcasts via RSS through any podcatcher like Juice or iTunes.[1][3][2]

BlogTalkRadio provides promotional badges and flash player code for placement on blogs, MySpace, Facebook and other Social networking sites.[5][2]

There is no cost for the service because it's advertising-supported.[4]

Condé Nast Portfolio referred to BlogTalkRadio as an site that "has become the dominant player in the latest media trend, one that allows anyone with a Web connection to host a talk show on any topic at any time of day. It is the newest form of new media; the audio version of the internet blog."[6]

[edit] History

After setting up a blog to update his family on his ailing father, the service was launched in August, 2006, by Alan Levy, a former accountant and successful telecommunications executive, who wanted to provide a way for bloggers to communicate directly with their audiences in real time.[5]
