Audio and Video Comments

Posted by David on May 23, 2009 · Comments 

One thing I like about the WordPress platform is that it is easy to use various types of media. I already have video and audio on the Totally Incorrect site and I plan on using more of each.

Thanks to the nice guys at riffly.com, I can now include a new level of interactivity. Riffly allows me to include the ability for you to leave audio or webcam comments on the stories – you are not just limited to text any longer.

I think this is a really cool idea and I’ve already left some audio comments on some other blogs.

Do you have a blog of your own? If you do you might want to consider using this service as well. The basic service is free and more advanced plans can be purchased for a monthly subscription.

What do you think? Is this level of interactivity something you would use?

    If you are wondering where the audio and video comments option has gone here's the deal.

    The Riffly plug-in didn't seem to format quite correctly in my blog template so I contacted the tech support people.

    After a week of silence, I decided that having a feature on the site that didn't work properly wasn't a good idea so I've deactivated it. If I ever hear back from the Riffly.com people, I'll put it back, but for the moment we are stuck with plain old typing!
  • Wordpress is now not just for writing. I think I'm not ready yet to use audio in my blog. I'm afraid if it will slow down my blog. =)

    Hey, thanks for commenting. I know what you mean, there's always a chance that new features can slow down both the load speed and the interaction on your blog.

    It is really interesting though how fast WordPress is developing. I remember making my first blog with that little default theme and thinking it was so cool :-)
