Fotobabble Turns BILLIONS of Photos into TALKING Ones
Within seconds, you can voice-enable any photo -- on a PC, a Mac or your iPhone and instantaneously send out via Facebook, Twitter, email and more. MEET Fotobabble and be prepared to have some fun.
Client Fotobabble went live this morning which means you can try it out in a number of different situations. For example:
*How cool and fun would it be to have talking photo status updates within Twitter and Facebook?
*You can use Fotobabble to add life to photos you upload on Facebook – at home or while you’re on the road traveling.
*You can send talking greetings to Grandma from your kids at a birthday party she is missing, in real-time.
*Snap a picture and add your voice to tell your spouse about the perfect couch for the living room you just saw.
*Include your voice to a greeting card to give it personality and life.
*Send talking postcards or digital hellos from your iPhone taken on vacation.
*You could also become a citizen journalist and add commentary to a car accident you just witnessed.
*Add voice to an image taken in an emergency zone such as Haiti, to communicate the situation on the ground.
*You could add voice to images to provide instant scoop from a local news or sporting event.
*Imagine being on a safari and sending a photo to a friend - captioned with your voice - that truly captures the excitement you felt the moment you first saw a lion?
*Snap a picture while buying the perfect pair or shoes or handbag while in Paris and get out to friends around the world instantly.
Whether you want to add your voice to a photo stored on your computer, or on one just snapped with your iPhone, Fotobabble brings images to life that can be shared immediately with friends and family.
A quick data point: there are tens of billions of static photos on the web without a voice or sound. Three billion photos are uploaded to Facebook each month alone. Now, you can add some spice to them quickly and easily.
Free to use, it only takes seconds to create and share a “Fotobabble.” Simply upload a photo and record your voice directly through your computer’s microphone to create a talking photo. On your iPhone, after downloading the free Fotobabble app, select an existing photo or a snap a new one, hit record and you’re done. Whether using a computer or your iPhone, you can share talking photos via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, or embed them into a blog or website.
And then, there's business uses and benefits. Businesses can create a talking photo to market or advertise a product, to more effectively engage with customers online, or to increase the number of visitors to their website, blog or Facebook page.
Since there is no software to download, Fotobabble supports PCs and Macs, as well as the iPhone, and makes it easy for people to create talking photos and to share them with a few close friends or with the whole world, in just a few button clicks.
Download the free iPhone App now and give it a whirl. They and I welcome your feedback and seeing your voice-enabled Fotobabbles all over the web. Let's collectively convert some of those billions of static photos into something fun, interesting, humorous, energizing, educational and of news value.

Oh oh - alas I am the quintessential exponent of the saying 'ask him the time and he will build you a clock' so already I have been putting fotobabble through its paces and am loving every minute of it.
The ability to Humanise pictures is fantastic - to put them into context and give some small vignette-indicator of the the mind behind the shutter is brilliant.
I look forward to continuing to championing something so simple elegant and highly relevant
bravo
Vincent
