I'm thinking about making a Voicepost! (Like everything I "think" about, I need to prepare for such big things weeks, sometimes months, in advance.) But livejournal's helpful FAQ on the subject is weird. And not really helpful at all. I've set things up and such, but if I actually call this number and MAKE this "voice post," is it then going to ( Read more... )

I agree, picking the right icon is definately important.

Yeah. Hence why this "voice" option thing requires vigorous examination!

The voice post with be posted right away, but you have to edit it online and not on the phone. I think it gives you a friends filter option (public, private, friends only) but it doesn't always work for me.

Meep! Okay, maybe this is something I won't be doing, then.

But! Why can't it just send it to a little "voice post" zoo where I can then pick it up from or something? Eeep!

But livejournal's helpful FAQ on the subject is weird. And not really helpful at all. I've set things up and such, but if I actually call this number and MAKE this "voice post," is it then going to immediately update my LJ? Am I allowed to edit it and stuff first? Change settings? Pick my user icon? (PICKING MY USER ICON IS VERY IMPORTANT!) OMG!

BWAHAHA! I have been seeing that voicepost meme going around and I thought about doing it but chickened out because I wasn't liking the idea of it just posting the minute I hang up. I need time to prepare and work myself into a sufficiently paranoid frenzy.

Yes! At first it sounded all cool and all, but then when I stopped to think about it, I had a "Hey, hang on a minute!" reaction.

A voice post? Would it be actually a recording of you, or is it when you say the stuff, and the computer writes it down? Because what if you say "The socio-political climate in Canada is very similar to the egilatarian views of the Mid-Western America's," (OR SOMETHING. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT STUFF) and the computer translates that to read: "Purple elephant monkeys like Shakespeare, motorbikes and coffee." OR SOMETHING. You know? Because that would be hilarious, but then you might feel cheated that you went to all that trouble and it didn't work.

But still, very, very hilarious.

MUHA! THAT IS SO COOL! THIS WOULD ALMOST MAKE IT WORTH IT!

I think it does both functions, actually! Except there seems to be some sort of strict rule: "transcriptions will only be free for voice recordings of under three minutes." Scary!
