One of my colleagues told me the other day that she thought Twitter was about to die. 'Have you heard of Audio Boo?' she asked. 'It's the new Twitter!' she declared.

Yep, Audio Boo is great and it's catching on. I regularly listen to podcasts from the American technology journalist Leo Laporte and during his recent visit to China he was booing (that's what it's called when you post a recording) every day with updates on his travels. It was really interesting.

The sound quality is great and the user interface is fantastic it seems.

But, there's a problem. In order to Boo, you need an iPhone. Fine if you can afford one; but for me a non-starter because I can't justify getting another new handset just so I can send recordings in from out 'in the field'.

Bugger. However, my dish lip didn't last for long.

I've found an alternative. One download of some recording software onto my Nokia E71 later and hey presto! I'm sorted.

I'm calling them Andy Boos and you can expect quite a few of them in future now that I've mastered the technology and I have mustered up the confidence to stand in public while waffling into my phone. I've started with a few on this site; scroll down to listen to my first attempts.

Boo Boo for now.
