By Betty Lin-Fisher, The Akron Beacon Journal, Ohio  Feb. 18--Last week, my husband called me at work in the late afternoon to tell me that someone had just come to our door in the bitter cold, saying he was there to "win back" our local telephone service to AT&T.

Eleven days ago I wrote a blog post describing a call-in service that I'd like to use to create a podcast with my friend and fellow blogger Robert Scoble. A new service (or one that I just became aware of) comes achingly close to doing what I want. Maybe it goes all the way there, but I've not seen how to do it. First, here's how it works. 1. Call 646-495-9201 x 49763. 2. Talk. 3. Hangup. There will be a new recording here.  http://drop.io/tradesecrets  Looks good!  But there are two problems. 1. The RSS feed doesn't have an enclosure, and even if you were willing to scrape the HTML there's no pointer to an MP3 file. 2. There's no pointer to an MP3 file on the landing page, although there appears to be one if you don't look at the HTML source. Tricky. It was enough to get Mike Arrington at Techcrunch to think it was there. I have a call into Mike to discuss. A caveat, I am also in touch with the folks at BlogTalkRadio. I want this service, and we're close to having it now. drop.io doesn't go quite far enough, they clearly want to drive traffic to their site, and appear unwilling to let the MP3 out into the wild. Interesting stuff!!  Update: I did a podcast with Robert and Patrick Scoble using drop.io. I was able to download the MP3, although it pretty well hidden, and upload it to my S3 account.

If you are in Sudan it is a "missed  call." In Ethiopia it is a "miskin" or a "pitiful" call. In  other parts of Africa it is a case of "flashing," "beeping" or  in French-speaking areas "bipage."

Not since the introduction of the cell phone has the plain old home phone been in for such upheaval. The device long used for landline calling, recording voice mails, and storing phone lists may find itself replaced.
