SUPER interesting play on radio and podcasting. Traditional podcasting has never really been social (online). So many apps have tried to build a community around listening and sharing audio content, but none have taken off (Product Hunt podcasts included). Anchor and Bumpers are super interesting but still early. Eager to see how this plays out.

@rrhoover I use Product Hunt podcasts!

@rrhoover This is huge. 'FOCUS' is the only reason Facebook has beat twitter in 'social.' Had Jack Dorsey focussed on Twitter alone, we would have had far more superior products than Facebook from Twitter. Sigh. P.S. - This comes from someone who loves bootstrap and digits by twitter.

Anchor is fantastic at building a community around discovery @rrhoover. I've not found that same kind of benefit within the Facebook closed system. I think the persons who seek alternative communities will continue to seek them out whereas I predict Facebook Live Audio will simply be another tool in Fb's wheelhouse. →Not game-changing though.

@rrhoover concerning the last part of your comment, it is not early but it is the way you approach marketing the need for voice sharing

With live video broadcasts, why do we need audio broadcasts? I don't get it? Anyone?
Andreas Duess
@sridhar_kondoji totally different tools. Audio requires far less attention than video and can be listened to while doing other things - like driving, for example.
sri
@andreasduess well, u can do all that with video as well. Just listen and not watch.

@sridhar_kondoji @andreasduess You're going to miss out a lot if you do that..that's like saying "Read the text in this book, but don't look at the diagrams!"
Pierre Abdel Karim
@sridhar_kondoji Voice sharing pushes your imagination when listening, that is an extremely important point to consider!
sri
@pierreakarim I agree with u on that point. But is this the only reason for audio medium to still continue to exist?

Clipping and sharing here we come. #holygrail

Just take off the word "LIVE" and that's what I want! Make audio a first-class citizen.

Looks like this is going to be the future of Podcasts.

Podcasting is one of the most intimate medium I know. It's literally in your ears. That would be a great addition since I don't do Live or watch Facebook Live that often.

we've been playing around in this space at audiopilot for a short while. fb's connections with publishers will be a great integration (possibly), as ap is more of a personal assistant in the car solution.

Excited for this to become widely available but damn, Facebook is on a roll!

video chat on messengers then this... FB is on a roll!
