Clever Dutch Startup – Shoudio
At PICNIC for a few hours, saw this great location-based start-up, Shoudio, in the “Marketpace” tent. The web interface is nice, but I could imagine improvements in searching, tagging and filtering. The iPhone app is slick, though not yet put to the test (by me). Seems like great potential here. You can record and share sounds through Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and there is also content from aggrigators such as soundaroundyou and soundseeker and probably more. With an open API this can be used by developers to make customized audio crowd-sourcing applications. City, bike, and architecture tours come to mind. Photo can be uploaded with audio. Something for birders?
