NowLive, a relatively new online service which combines social networking and user-generated broadcasting, announced a new widget today for making it easier to get a talk show noticed by the online masses. This widget can be plugged into a variety of Web sites.
The NowLive Talk Show widget lets anyone with a social networking profile on sites such as MySpace or blog sites like LiveJournal, Blogger and TypePad embed their own live talk show directly into their personal profile. NowLive in general works by letting one dial a local phone number to create voice streams for his or her new talk show. Talk show hosts can interact with listeners through a variety of tools and the shows are later made available as downloadable podcasts.
“Bloggers, podcasters and anyone who wants to be heard can be on the air in less than 60 seconds,†said NowLive Co-founder & CEO Kevin Bromber. “But unlike traditional radio, a social broadcast lets the audience actively participate in the show from their computers and cell phones.â€

NowLive.com is like CRACK! I’m just warning you it is very addictive because the interactivity of the live shows is so cool. I started my own social broadcast. Better than myspace! The widget is really cool because you can have people hear your show without having to go through a bunch of websites.
Adrianne Curry does a show on nowlive.com. That’s how she ended up on Perez Hilton. I like that you can upload just about anything and the shows are live. I’m no psychic, but this could be the thing that kicks internet radio into the 21st century.
I like nowlive , but I cannot for the life of me discover any place that gives directions as to how to use skype with it. They advertise it to be so. I cant find it. Any help you can offer would be great.
