<p>I love the new BlogTalkRadio. Why? I just call a phone number, +1-646-200-0000, (you can call it too). I record a conversation with my cell phone, and then it builds an RSS feed that points to MP3&#8217;s of my conversation. What&#8217;s the URL? <a href="http://cinch.blogtalkradio.com/4252051921">It is my cell phone&#8217;s phone number</a>. No need to sign up. No need to give personal details, or even agree to anything.</p>
<p>This way I can make a podcast whenever I want. Utterz does something similar, but you gotta setup Utterz before you make your phone call. I like frictionless publishing and no signup before you start makes a lot of sense to me.</p>
<p>This came out of an idea that <a href="http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/02/18/theSimplestPodcastApiEver.html">Dave Winer and I had</a>, great way to build an RSS feed.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s some things I recorded the other night.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/scobleizer/2284488376/" title="Shannon Clark by Robert Scoble, on Flickr"><img src="https://i2.wp.com/farm4.static.flickr.com/3177/2284488376_cf81f1a46b_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Shannon Clark" /></a></p>
<p>Shannon Clark is an entrepreneur and a geek and all that and <a href="http://shannonclark.wordpress.com/2008/02/20/abstractions-for-metrics-and-targeting-extending-opensocial/">he wrote an interesting blog post explaining</a> what kinds of things he&#8217;d like to see added to the OpenSocial API.</p>
<p><a href="http://btre.blogtalkradio.com/74_86981.mp3">In our five-minute audio conversation, we talk about that blog post</a> and what else we&#8217;d like to see in OpenSocial and Facebook and what kind of standards we&#8217;d like to see surrounding our privacy, too.</p>

<p>Thanks to <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/">BlogTalkRadio</a> for making this happen.</p>
