Voice microblogging, where is the road?

2011 Micro-Bo competition is still fierce, the major micro-Bo are doing their own characteristics, find ways to attract more netizens to participate. Sina Weibo has launched a "Voice micro-Blog" This novel model.

First of all, a delicacy or celebrity. Faye Wong 12th in their own micro-Borilen send a few voice microblog, the result because the phone is not like a computer typing, there are let you determine, modify the opportunity, words did not finish automatically sent out. When you feel bored, stop sending voice tweets.

As far as the idea of voice Weibo is concerned, it's pretty good. But I was worried about his development and worried about the following:

Opposite

Why Micro Bo will fire, is largely due to the current netizens chasing fast food culture results. So there are not so many people who love to write long-winded blogs, chasing 140-word tweets. But in terms of voice Weibo, it's a minute to listen. How long will it take you to listen to other people's chatter if you develop a universal voice microblogging?

Convenience of

Sina Voice Weibo can only rely on phone calls to send micro-blogging, but a large percentage of netizens who play Weibo are using Weibo on a non mobile phone or PC. So how to meet this part of the voice microblogging needs of people? Provide direct headset recording function in the future?

Generalized

Voice Weibo is a turning point from seeing listening. Then the Netizen's computer does not have the sound, the earphone and so on the time, the user how to play the Voice micro-blog? such as offices or other public Internet sites.

Tariff

Sina Voice Weibo is currently the number of calls to your mobile phone operators (mobile 1259085500, Unicom 9501399, telecom 16836502). Although Sina now says no charge, the user only needs to pay the standard communication fee that the operator collects. But as far as I know, 12590 and 168 of the charges, can not be so cheap. Baidu Encyclopedia "12590 is the major SP and China Mobile to operate a value-added information service total access platform, and Netcom's 168 information platform similar to the charging standard for 1-5 yuan/minute or monthly." I would like to charge at this price, the general user is certainly unbearable.

Supervision

2010 All micro-blogs in their own logo clearly marked "beta", which is to evade the responsibility of the netizens. Because the beta site deleted the user's data, there is no responsibility. And if the voice microblogging development, how to monitor the content of each voice Weibo is healthy and legitimate? This is not the ability to write a program to filter the keyword to do.

Reverse Current

Mobile phone from the development to the text message, largely because the message is cheaper than the call. However, the voice of micro-blogging is very high, and the text microblogging is "free" Oh! How can voice microblogs transcend text microblogging?

The above concerns are purely personal fantasies. Voice microblogging will not develop better, will not be Sina micro-boga points, will not be profitable for Sina, only time can prove all this.
