Earfl: Create, Share And Listen To Stories

abhijeet — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 15:34:34 +0000

Earfl is a website which aims at creating a new revolution similar to what blogging did by letting people write about their personal life and publish it online easily, but in a different manner. Here instead of looking at articles written by people, you actually get to hear them. Earfl is actually a cool way to create, share and listen to stories online. And the stories are in the form of voice recording of those who narrated it over the phone to Earfl. Hence it adds a human factor to the stories by letting people record it in their own voice and share it online.

As you can see in the screenshot above, it’s a pretty simple process. You first need to register at the earfl site and then call up 415-223-3802 and read out your story which gets recorded in the form of a voicemail and when you hangup it appears online in your Earfl account. It also asks you to enter your phone number during registration to automatically save recordings from that phone number to your account.

Additionally, you can join groups or just listen to stories submitted by other members while watching the cool slideshows.

So what’s your story ?
