To use audio boo you need to have a second generation iPod or iPhone with a microphone which you can plug in (if you are using the iPod). I use the microphone on Apple's new in-ear headphones. With this set up you download the application for free from the app store and open it up! Its so easy to use, at the bottom there are three buttons, one for listening to other peoples boos, one for recording your own boo, and one to link it with your Audio Boo account online.
Its brilliant to get your thoughts onto the internet quickly. You can follow people on audio boo as well similar to twitter, and of course you can be followed. My only grievance with it is that you cannot search for people and add them from your iPod, you need to go to the Audio Boo website.
If you want to check out some audio boos visit my website here, and you can see my current boos! To do this you can login to the website using your account details, and click on the RSS feed option. You can either feed all boos to your site, or just your own.Update:
Claireatwaves has commented that a similar applications to Audio Boo is called ipadio, available from Ipadio.com, but this has a clear advantage over Audio Boo, in that you can broadcast from any phone! Having tried it, it does work very well but there are a few issues that lead me to stick with Audio Boo. One, that the quality is obviously that of a normal phone call, yet with the iPod application the quality is far superior. Secondly, the RSS feed I use to embed my Boos into my website cannot be replicated with ipadio, while they do offer an RSS feed for your phlogs (phone logs), it does not contain links to the audio files themselves, view an example at www.jsjallen.co.uk
