How the world of audio just got a little better.

If you don't listen to internet radio there is a new service that might make you join in.

If you do listen – this new service will make you fall in love with radio all over again!

This post is an exception to the rule of my posts. Rather than being inspirational I just want to share something I found that I really, really, like. As many of you know I love tech - and when I see something that makes my jaw drop it's in my nature to share it.

The other day I found a fairly new web site called RadioWeave. This site is pretty revolutionary, so much so that I think it could be the very beginning of something very big across the internet. Imagine being there at the beginning of Facebook or Twitter. I believe that RadioWeave has the might have that same kind potential.

Remember the days when in the car the radio was king? The traditional approach was you pressed your preset buttons that were based on the kind of station you wanted to hear. You didn't have to download anything, mess with any settings, you'd just get in and listen. If you didn't like what was playing you just pushed the next preset (or maybe later just changed the preset all together). That radio model worked incredibly well for decades - to tell the truth sometimes I still miss it. (This is probably the reason that people still subscribe to Satellite radio - you just tune to a station you like, but if something comes on you don't want to hear you just press a button.)

But, the world has changed so much since the days of the radio. There are literally hundreds of thousands of places you can get audio content over the internet – and music is only a fraction of the content available. These stations are really each individual shows that cover the broadest subjects (like CNN, ABC News or NPR) – down to the most specific subjects - you name the topic and somewhere there is an internet radio show hosted by enthusiasts on the subject. (I host a weekly show on the specific subject of using your mind to create a better life that I call "mindpower" as one of many such examples.)

Now imagine what it would be like if you could get in your car, or go on a run, or head to the gym, and simply press a button that was a loop of all of your favorite stations all kept track of for you and updated as soon as new content was published. If you are listening to one show and get bored you just tap a button to move to the next one, and all of your shows – and the individual places you've left off are all kept in perfect order for you and played as an indivdual track ranging as long as 6 minutes to shorter broadcasts such as quick weather, or stock updates. Radioweave is sort of like an eight-track player that is continuously organizing and playing the tracks of your life. (Sorry to those of you too young to know what an eight-track is.)

But there is even more – because RadioWeave also links to your Facebook and Twitter accounts. What this means is that as part of your running loop the service READS OUT LOUD recent Facebook and Twitter posts. I'm not kidding and I”m not making this up, IT READS THEM OUT LOUD!

I think the reason RadioWeave is so powerful is it matches the way most of us naturally go about our day. Rarely do I have a large block of time to listen to my shows; usually I'm moving from one place to another, doing yard work, working out ect. So what ends up happening is I end up with small blocks of time to listen throughout the day. RadioWeave keeps me updated on what's going on around me, but it let's me skim everything I find interesting and find the real gems in the audio world that I would otherwise miss.

Bottom line is this: I can tell you personally that almost as soon as I signed up with RadioWeave it immediately began to change the way I listen to content and I'm absolutely in love with this service!

Wait you say – what does it cost?

That's the best part of all – it's FREE! ..... Don't we live in some amazing times?

Here is a video from the company – when I watched it I was it's 64^th view on YouTube – so really folks we are on the absolute cutting edge of this new technology. If you love podcasts like I do – or think you might if there were an easier way - then check them out.

I have only two warnings: So far RadioWeave has a highly developed Iphone app, it's stable and works great, but the Android app is still in Alpha so it's not in the regular market - (Mine seems to work OK - still a little buggy but passable!). Secondly, RadioWeave is new - and they don't seem to have Wall street money behind them yet; they are a small group of people working on this project in their spare time - so if everything doesn't work perfectly just remember they are doing their best. I consider it the price I willingly pay for being on the absolute cutting edge and being able to do something no one else can. If you keep those things in mind; and like audio like I do, I think you're going to become a fan.
