February Member Update
February 4, 2009 at 1:13 pm | Author: Dave Nelsen | In Emails
Happy February to you (it is definitely a happy month here in Pittsburgh since the SuperBowl). Three updates from TalkShoe:
Seeking Two Friends to Become Famous
1) I admit that this idea is a bit wacky and definitely not for everybody but it’s amazing what goes viral in this crazy Facebook-YouTube-Twitter-TalkShoe world, so here goes… If you have a good friend who you talk with frequently on the phone, we’ll help make both of you famous. How? Just hold every phone call as a public TalkShoe call (no interaction with listeners) and we’ll promote it to the world! You need only do what you already do; just talk to each other using TalkShoe and let the world just listen along. Get the full details here: Famous Friends!
Run Your Own Community Conference Call, Talkcast, or Party Line
2) If you haven’t yet hosted your own Talkcast, Community Conference Call, or Party Line yet on TalkShoe, here are simple instructions to help you get started: Step-by-Step Instructions.
On-Demand Group Calls Using Just Your Phone
3) You can now run your TalkShoe calls using just your telephone keypad, and you can do so without any advance scheduling. Get the details here: Telephone TouchTone Commands.
As always, with TalkShoe I’m sure that you’ll enjoy talking with others who share your interests!

Widget & Non-member Calling Email
October 22, 2007 at 4:18 pm | Author: TalkShoe Team | In Emails
Hello TalkShoe Users!
TalkShoe now has lots of badge player widgets available for you. What’s a widget? It’s a small “player” for any Talkcast - not just your Talkcasts. The widget lists all previously recorded shows, upcoming shows, and highlights when a Talkcast is LIVE. It’s one of the best possible ways to get your, or anyone else’s Talkcast listened to, and increase Live participation.
Go to ANY Talkcast page (find one now) and click on “Create a Badge”. It’s really easy. You can add widge ts to your blogs, websites, and social networks such as Facebook, MySpace, iGoogle, Windows Live, Typepad, Blogger, Netvibes, Friendster, Ning, etc. Why not create one right now!
Also…by this time next week, you’ll be able to stream live audio directly from the widget player!! LEARN MORE ABOUT WIDGETS
Announcing Non-Member Call In. Allows any person, member or non-member, to call into a talkcast without every needing to go to TalkShoe. Just hit 1# after entering the Talkcast ID.
Best regards — Max T.
