[...] Slawsome – otra forma de enviar voz por mail 21/12/05 —Juan Diego Polo Supongo que recordais cuando hace unas semanas hablé de Waxmail como una excelente opción para mandar voz por email. Pues claro.. no es la única opción…Slawsome nos ofrece la misma opción, lo que parece que está cada vez más de moda (a medida que los anchos de banda van creciendo sin parar): enviar el mail en forma de mp3. Ved la opinión de uno de los mejores bloggers sobre web 2.0 de la actualidad:Michael Arrington en TechCrunch dice: “We’ve profiled a few companies in this space – Vemail, Slawesome, and Springdoo. They all do things a little differently…and for many people WaxMail will work best. […] Unlike vemail, slawesome does not require a download. And unlike Springdoo, Slawesome is free.” [...]

Yep, VoMail is a good program,

To be serious, I am open to any suggestions and requests for new feautures
in my program.

A much better program is Vomail – exactly the same concept, but after recording it hands you over to your default email client – which allows you to specify a subject (something you can’t do with Vemail) and, more important, access your address book. Freeware, available from many sites, Google it.

(Incidentally a start-up called YackPack plans to offer the same functionality on a subscription basis; you must both be subscribed before you can send voice messages. Good luck! a) you can do this for free with Vomail or similar b) if it takes off, it will take Microsoft etc about 3 minutes to built this into their IM clients).

How does it compare to Springdoo? Which makes better sense to use?

I didn’t write about these features, but should have. There is a delay between lifting your finger and sending the message that is quite long.

I liked it a lot when I blogged about it. I haven’t used it since. Not a keeper.

“Once you let F6 go, it will email the file as a sound file to the selected email address.”

This doesn’t strike me as particularly smart mode of operation. Is it configurable? It would seem quite easy to accidently let go of a key and send a partial message.

Similarly, what if you’d like to review or cancel the message before you send it (e.g. if you’ve been interrupted during the recording by a person/telephone/other background noise), or if you’ve simply lost your train of thought and want to abort? I’ll be interested to hear whether you’ve received many partial messages from readers of your blog …

Overall, it sounds like a neat little gimmick, but I’m not convinced it would work well in its current form, nor that it meets any real business need. Perhaps I’m being too negative though, what are your thoughts on these issues?
