PimpMyNews Pimps More Blogs and Twitters About It
Allen Stern - April 2nd, 2008
PimpMyNews has announced two product updates this morning: more available blogs and a new Twitter integration. PimpMyNews takes a feed and converts it to audio using a computerized voice. The service allows you to grab your favorite blogs and take them with you into iTunes or mp3.
Over 500,000 audio clips are available and the service has expanded to the top 1,000 blogs. PimpMyNews reports that users from over 149 countries have used the service. You can also now create a twitter message with the audio news clips you are currently listening to.
I’d link to the CenterNetworks page but there appears to be no way to do that. An embed would also be nice. Check out our interview with PimpMyNews founder John Atkinson.
Allen,
Thanks for writing about PimpMyNews. About linking and embedding PimpMyNews audio stories…
1) Here’s a link to the CenterNetworks "Talking Page":
http://pimpmynews.com/SharePlayer.aspx?feed=931
2) Anyone can grab a free badge to serve audio right from their site on our widgets page here: http://pimpmynews.com/Widgets.aspx
3) The "permalink" feature let’s you post any single "talking story" anywhere. Here’s the link to this story: http://pimpmynews.com/p.aspx?i=618848
We love feedback and invite everyone to send it to Suggestions@PimpMyNews.com (we act on it fast!)
Thanks,
John
