Audioblogger was using too much resources for Odeo, so today they canned it. It’s a shame, but probably a decision that was smart for the start-up.
As of November 1, 2006, Audioblogger will no longer accept phone calls. MP3s made with the service will continue to be hosted and served but you will no longer be able to use Audioblogger to post new audio.
Audioblogger is an independent product, run by Odeo, Inc., a small startup company in San Francisco, CA. We are not affiliated with Google or Blogger except that we operate and provide the Audioblogger service.
Given our limited resources, we have to make tough decisions about what projects to focus on. And we’ve come to the difficult decision that Audioblogger demands too many resources, time, and money for us to continue its operation.
If you were using Audioblogger to deliver your podcasts, Odeo offers these links:
- Gabcast – http://gabcast.com
- Hipcast – http://hipcast.com
- Gcast – http://gcast.com
I’m wondering why Google/Blogger didn’t try to stop this with some cash?
