Voice Comments Are Open, Call in and Share Your Thoughts on Social Media

I promised you when the site lanched that we would use it as a place to experiment with new formats and concepts in co-created content. Here's one. Maybe it will fail miserably, we'll see.

If you click on the box below, powered by Google Voice, you can leave me a voicemail message. I will curate the best of these and post them to the site in a follow-up as MP3s. I am open on topics, but specifically would like to hear your thoughts on where you see social media going in the next year.

I got the idea from Arik Hesseldahl at BusinessWeek. Note that phone numbers won't be shared (you can keep it private if you want) and not all comments will make it on to the site - only the more interesting or, dare I say, entertaining ones. Also, please keep these brief if you can. Ideally, 60 seconds or less in length is best. Finally, note that by leaving a message you are giving me permission to pubish it here.

I agree that you should be able to "own" your comments.
