Finally, BlogTalkRadio Gets VoIP

Seems like I am done paying for Skype service to call into my BTR podcast:

Launched today, AskTheHost makes it possible for BTR listeners to participate in any one of the network’s 450-plus live daily shows without wracking up long-distance calling charges – or even having a traditional landline or wireless phone.

Rather, the “one-click” Flash-based Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service lets them listen and call into shows directly from their Web browser. They only need to plug a microphone into their computer, log onto BTR and “dial in” via the AskTheHost widget.

Now, let’s get an interface that let’s me know who is calling. Talkshoe has a nice interface that I miss. BTR could look at upgrading to something like that.
