Broadcastr App Merges Storytelling And Location Based Social Networking

Electric Literature is taking location based social networks to a whole new level with the beta launch of a new storytelling website called Broadcastr. The site lets people share their stories from around the globe through shared audio clips, and organizes them by location.

Electric Literature co-founders Andy Hunter and Scott Lindenbaum introduced the site at the eBook Summit this past December. GalleyCat reports: “The storytelling app will let people record audio versions of location-specific stories around the globe–like Foursquare for storytellers. Above, we’ve embedded a video of the eBook Summit presentation.”

It could be a great way to discover a new place when traveling, and share your own stories. Here is more from the Broadcastr site: “Users can take a GPS-enabled walk as stories about their surroundings stream into their headphones, like a museum tour of the entire world. Users can record their own content, create playlists, follow their friends, and share on Facebook.”

Launch a social media campaign that will build your brand and deliver results in our online Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting June 7. Speakers include Abigail Cusick (Bravo Digital), Gregory Galant (Sawhorse Media), Alex Leo (Thomson Reuters Digital), Jim Tobin (Ignite Social Media), and many more. Read the reviews.
