Introducing TravelCastNetwork.com

September 29th, 2009

rss_feedRawVoice in partnership with Chris Christensen host of the world famous Amateur Travel Podcast is proud to announce the official launch of the TravelCast Network. Travel professionals and enthusiasts can now access the latest travel news and information via an innovative new Web site, TravelCastNetwork.com.

Travel news gathered from all over the Internet and presented at TravelCastNetwork.com includes podcasts, Web radio and Web TV programs. This site is the only one of its kind on the Web and it’s free. It allows seasoned world travelers and weekend wanderers to listen to timely stories on topics including trip planning, economic destinations, exciting sites most people wouldn’t think about, what to take with you, government warnings and much more.

An advanced feature allows the user to listen to the podcast, radio or TV show while still surfing the Internet or continuing work on a computer.

“Whether you’re trying to find a good travel destination, trying to get up the courage to travel independently or just want to know how to better tackle Walt Disney World, the TravelCastNetwork has the resources to help you,” explains Chris Christensen, director of the new site and producer of the Amateur Traveler. “The TravelCastNetwork.com is a free resource that will be helpful to those who are actively traveling or simply dreaming of traveling some day. We hear back from listeners who are buying airplane tickets, taking gap years or planning their next vacation based on what they’re learning.”

The site already reaches about 100,000 travel types a month nationwide. Potential advertisers can contact Christensen @ travelcast@rawvoice.com.

Show us – and lots of others – what you like

September 12th, 2009

Um, yeah, OK we are hoping you’ll do our work for us. But we’re guessing you won’t mind. Fact is you can do it better than we can and a little face time is going to be a good thing for you and your podcast. The team at RawVoice is looking to you for video testimonials on our products and services to post on our website.

These video testimonials will reach advertisers, podcasters and corporate clients so keep that in mind when you’re putting them together. Duh, videos that are simply promotions for your show won’t make the cut.

Topics for the testimonials include:

  • Podcast Advertising: tell the world what it has done for your show and how your listeners have reacted to the spots.
  • Podcast Statistics: tell our audience – and yours – what you like best about the stats and any insights the service has given you about your audience.
  • Podcast Hosting: reveal your innermost feelings about our hosting and the tools available to each client.
  • PowerPress: so, what you like about it? Let the masses know how it has improved your show production.
  • Portal Clients: the viewers anxiously await your insights on how the portal has helped your company and how you are using it.

Guidelines:

  • 2-3 minutes max
  • We’d like to be able to download the raw footage to edit in-house so we can put in titles and make sure it’s in the proper format. If you want to do all that yourself that’s fine, but please provide us a high quality master to work from.

Questions can be directed to creative@rawoice.com

Thanks in advance for doing our work for us. We knew you wouldn’t mind.;)

They’re here! Check out all you can do with our statistics upgrade

August 18th, 2009

State-by-state statistics, day-by-day trending and mobile media download numbers are three of the many significant upgrades RawVoice now offers our podcast community, and we’re pretty excited about it. RawVoice is proud to announce the release of its Statistics System Version 1.1, offering a number of  revolutionary new features.

Take a look at the tools that benefit you:

Reporting by States

One of the most requested features,  you can now access state-by-state reporting all across the United States. You can view data by simply hovering over the interactive map.

Trending By Day

Our trending report has been extended to include a 12-month outlook as well as a 30-day report. The new data lets you to see what days of the week draw your largest downloads. Trending data can be accessed simply by hovering over the interactive graph.

Extensive List of Clients

During the summer months we’ve seen a surge in Blackberry and Android download traffic. To reflect this new trend in mobile media downloads, we’re now detecting the BlackBerry podcatching application, PodTrapper, and the Google Android podcatching application, BeyondPod, separately to give you more insight on how your media is being consumed on mobile devices. We also added the new Palm Pre (WebOS) and are now reporting the previous Palm mobile devices as Palm (classic).

Here’s a list of mobile clients and podcatchers currently detected:

  • Opera Mini
  • Nokia
  • iPhone
  • Windows Mobile
  • BlackBerry
  • Android (Google smartphone)
  • Palm WebOS (Palm Pre)
  • Palm (classic)
  • PodTrapper (BlackBerry podcatcher)
  • BeyondPod (Android podcatcher)

More Sources

In our February 2009 statistics system update, we added a new Overall Distribution to report total web browser, podcatcher and web bot downloads. After auditing our system, we discovered additional valuable data with reporting Mobile Applications (such asBeyondPod for Google Android and PodTrapper for Blackberry) as well the mobile web browsers themselves.

We are now reporting “Plays in Page” for users who use flash-based players on their web sites for in-page media playback. For users using our Blubrry PowerPress WordPress podcasting plugin, this feature has been enhanced to track all in-page plays on your web site.

Performance Improvements

We’ve improved the performance of the statistics system: Users can now update statistics at any time. We have removed the five-plus download minimum requirement for displaying downloads for media files. You’ll now see the media appearing in the reports with one download.

This is great new stuff! And, as I said, we’re pretty excited. Try it out, then take a sec and let us know what you think!
