Leading Podcasters Extend to Mobile Phones via VoiceIndigo MOBILIZE
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- VoiceIndigo, the leading provider of mobile podcasting solutions, announced the availability of VoiceIndigo MOBILIZE for Podcasters -- a revolutionary, free service that enables podcasters to market and deliver podcasts to listeners' cell phones via SMS text messaging and the VoiceIndigo MOBILIZE WAP application.
With the number of data and audio-capable mobile phones outnumbering MP3 players by an order of magnitude, VoiceIndigo MOBILIZE for Podcasters provides access to a largely untapped market of mobile listeners, enabling users to easily download a podcast directly from the podcaster's website in as little as one click.
"We are always looking for innovative ways to increase our listener base and believe that mobile phones are a growing medium for our podcasts," said Michael Geoghegan, creator of GrapeRadio, a popular wine enthusiast podcast. "We looked into other technologies and we view VoiceIndigo MOBILIZE as an innovative platform for distributing our podcasts to handheld devices."
With VoiceIndigo, mobile phone users can be only one click away from listening to podcasts; thereby eliminating the complexity associated with other applications and improving listener usability and retention. The service is simple for listeners and also simple for podcasters to enable. Within minutes, podcasters can MOBILIZE their websites via VoiceIndigo's self-service application that creates code specific for each podcast. VoiceIndigo removes all the technical complexity by providing the software and services infrastructure including valuable usage and listener reports.
"In order for podcasting to make it into the mainstream, the process of delivering podcasts to the listener needs to be streamlined," said John Mayerhofer, CEO and co-founder of VoiceIndigo. "VoiceIndigo MOBILIZE was designed for this very purpose. It's easy to use for podcasters and listeners alike."
