Audio Generator / Ask Database
I’ve recently been working on a site where the owner wanted to put an audio clip on the site, and solicit questions from the visitors so he could answer them in an audio clip (podcast). The site’s coming along fine. The place to go to set up an audio clip is Audio Generator. It’s a fairly inexpensive monthly service. They also host the audio clips and provide the code to play them with various start/stop/fast forward/rewind buttons. There are probably programs that would let someone do this for free, but this is quite a clever system that the “non-technical” can use pretty easily.
To keep track of the answers, there’s the Ask Database. Also easy for the non-technical to use. Any decent PHP or ASP programmer could cobble together something similar, but this is slick and professional. Why re-invent the wheel since this works as well as it does?
