What is RadioChimp? RadioChimp was a free service that enables folks, without the need for any technical knowledge, to send audio e-mail messages, to podcast their own radio show, and embed audio into webpages.
Unfortunately, the technology around which this website was originally developed fell out of vogue, at the same time that the developer of this website started to pursue an advanced degree in mathematics. As a result, we have been unable to retool the website with more modern HTML5 audio tools. And, the previous technology we were using (by way of Java) not only fails to be a mobile technology, but one of the vendors upon which we depended, ceased their support for our recording applet. Therefore, the site is no longer functional. However, if you have some strange curiosity about what our site used to be like, feel free to read below and watch the accompanying video.
AcousticMail RadioChimp's audio e-mailing (AcousticMail), allows you to record your audio message from a webpage and send it to your friends/colleagues. They receive it as an e-mail, but no attachments included, making it compatible with any e-mail service. The e-mail message includes a link to a webpage where they can hear the AcousticMail Message, and as optional features, a picture of you and a text message are also on the webpage.
Why use AcousticMail? AcousticMail can be used to send a voice message to someone, when you might not wish (or can't afford) to call their cell phone. Let's say you don't wish to have a live conversation with them, or they're sleeping and you don't wish to wake them. Or, you wish to add a personal touch to a message sent to someone far away? You can also serenade someone in an audio message that's just not the same through email. Ever had someone misinterpret what you've typed because it didn't convey the inflection with which you meant it? Now, you can send them an RadioChimp instead and be understood. Have difficulty typing due to tendinitis or some other disability? Speak your message instead.
