listen to your kids
Julien just launched a wonderful project: Listen to Your Kids:
Listen To Your Kids connects kids that want to share with parents that want to listen, all through very simple, existing technologies.
I’ve always felt that the most effective innovations are created through connecting already powerful elements (think podcasting). Here, there is a telephone number, and a podcast feed. Anything (relevant) that gets said by kids in one end will come out the other, to be heard by parents all around the world. I hope we can make this a valuable learning tool for people everywhere
You can subscribe in itunes, or if you think that Apple’s near-total control of the podcast market is dangerous, you can infer the plain vanilla RSS feed, and use that to subscribe, and hear what kids around the world want to say to their parents.
Powerful idea, I think. I love it when friends launch these little projects - Julien hasn’t said a word about this, and just got it done. Kudos.
thanks hugh. i just made it possible to call through skype from anywhere in the world, for free, and i’ll find an elegant way to integrate a plain RSS feed in there soon.

But what ELSE could I use to listen to the podcast feed?
