Alpha Testing: Dial -A-Botcast (Also Skype)

I'm building a Dial-A-Botcast type service. You start by dialing:

1-800-289-5570

And then use the pin:

9991251983

Or you can use one of these other modes of access:

PIN Access (407) 386-2174 then PIN: 9991251983
Skype VoIP +99000936 9991251983
FWD VoIP **86919991251983
SIP VoIP SIP:9991251983@sip.voxeo.net

When the attractive female voice reads the numbers, you can either say them, or press them on your keypad.

The Skype way is a great way to access the service, for my testing. But here, go ahead and try it:



I love this, for many reason, but one is, it's like having an iPod, on the server. This gives me great freedom to work on the UI, in software, and not have to wait around for Apple to invent stuff, to put on their hardware.

I'm hoping that once I get good at VoiceXML programming, I'll have an interface where the user can quickly jump around between Rebotcasts, and individual items, by rapidly navigating with typepad keys, or voice. It's not hard to imagine this surpassing the iPod, for in-car Botcast listening, in fairly short order.

For a Good Time, call ...

Here is my current list of botcast buddies. Posts will be updated once a day.

Directions call:

1 800 289 5570

and then dial the access digits, according to who you want to hear.
