So you know I love my iPhone. I threw out my Blackberry in favor of this amazing Apple device well over a year ago. And yes, I've never looked back.

I'm always finding new and interesting applications to try out and my latest is super cool so I wanted to share. Enter AudioBoo, a simple and easy way to post audio quickly on the Internet via their web site. I can also link it up on my Twitter and Facebook pages. You can do up to 3 minutes of audio so it's more of an on-the-go, short and to the point application much like Twitter with its 140 character limit. Since we are now living in a "give-it-to-me-now" world, the AudioBoo app is a perfect fit.

I envision using this when I'm out at music events and conferences, reporting "live" and even conducting brief "on-the-fly" interviews. The quality of the recording is superb. I give it a huge thumbs up!!

I have two profiles set up:

I'm very excited about the news that OurStage, one of my favorite social network sites for musicians, has an iPhone application. I just downloaded it (it's free) and have been playing with it all morning. I'm in love!

I have found that really only a handful of social networks sites that are geared for musicians are really doing it right. Adding an iPhone application is super smart. I already have Pandora and AOL Music on my iPhone. I like them both but really want a way to discover new music from indie artists. And you know what, this is the way to do it on-the-go with your iPhone. When I'm not tied down to my computer this has become my preferred method to listen to music. And like Pandora I can rate the songs with a thumbs up or thumbs down.

Sign up for your FREE OurStage account here. It's a great way to make new fans and get discovered.
