Phonecasting, Podcasting, and Other Audio Content from the Museum of Modern Art

In recent months we've posted about a number of sites that allow users to dial a telephone number and then listen to content over the phone.

From National Public Radio to The Lincoln Memorial to just about any podcast (using Podlinez).

Today, a variation on that theme from the Museum of Modern Art in NYC.

Here you can listen to audio tours (just like you would if you were touring the museum) on your iPod or any other MP3 device. Using Podlinez or Phonecasting.com you can set up with a dial-in number and listen to these tours (in podcast format) over the telephone (just by making a simple telephone call). It couldn't be easier. In most cases, the service is free, all you pay for is the call.

This page lists all of the podcasts/programs/tours from the Museum of Modern Art that can be downloaded/streamed and in some cases heard over the telephone.

It's simple! Take the RSS url for MOMA's podcast(s) and enter it into Podlinez. You can listen to the latest podcast or any podcast that has an RSS url (often ending in XML). Once you have the url, head to Podlinez, enter the url and you're ready to listen. Remember, this should work with just about any podcast not only those from MOMA. That's right, listen to any podcast over the phone. Talk about a tool that helps flatten the learning curve for all users and podcasters.

In a matter of seconds you're provided with a phone number and a few minutes later, you're able to listen on your phone like you would any other call.

With headphones, they sound great! For example, dial and listen to +1 (801) 349-3832 to test out what we've been talking about from MOMA. Have fun!

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.
