What it is and how to play
September 7th, 2006 by Amyloo
This is an experiment to present a podcast game in a widget, but you also can play by visiting the site or subscribing to a feed.
The idea is you listen to a very brief clue clip, then try to guess: who is speaking, from which podcast, and the context surrounding the remark. After a day or so, the answer will be posted (still thinking about how to handle that part).
Ways to play:
1. Come to the home page of this blog and play the clip on the page.
2. Subscribe to an RSS feed:
- There’s one for the clips and answers, or
- You can sub to a special feed with just the clips, if you’re more of a gamer and want to control when you see the solution
3. Play the clue in a widget. There are two so far: a Google gadget that you can put on your personalized Google start page; and a Javascript include that puts the current clip on any kind of blog or web page.
Which widget should come next? Yahoo? For now, here’s the standard-issue “Add to My Yahoo!” button:
