MyChingo.com re-brands as MobaTalk.com

June 20th, 2007 by Derek Anderson Leave a reply »

Mobatalk.com appears to come out on July 15th. Who wants to wait till then? Especially when you can see this widget on other blogs. Blogs that don’t even review widgets. Like entrepreneurs-journey.com This is where I was re-introduced to “Mobatalk”. (MyChingo)

I had to “steal” this widget!

How else could I effectively share it with you? Give it a listen! Try it out…however, if you were to leave comments on this widget, you would actually be leaving comments for Yaro Starak over at entrepreneurs-journey.com

Leaving comments results in a new page with a Java applet that allows you to record your comment and include a 2000 character text message.

It looks like this…

Prior to my thievery, I emailed Mobatalk (mobasoft) for a “Early release Beta” because of my status as a widget reviewer.

I was denied via an auto mailer…here is that email

Thank you for contacting me.

I will be out of the country for one month.

As you can imagine, my email will build up to silly proportions during that time, so I intend to delete it all when I return.

I will not be checking it at all while away.
Please do not expect a reply; simply mark your calendar and contact me again after July 15th!

All I can say is Mobatalk seems to be a cool widget. It looks cool, doesn’t eat up a ton of space and is flash so you can put it on your MySpace profile. That is, if you still MySpace.
(I heard people were leaving MySpace… like rats fleeing a sinking ship.)

…but then again, this story indicates something different. TechCrunch/MySpace+Yahoo

  1. We make a free standalone windows application that records voice message and upload it to the server, so that it can be played from the web location directly.

    Please, take a look: http://sayandpost.com .

    Since the idea is just to insert links to voice files and avoid using widgets, may be it is not really appropriate for the widgetlab though :)

  2. Hello Derek – what you actually have there is available at MyChingo.com (started out April, 2006) and is currently being converted over to my new MobaTalk system. You can sign up for your own audio comment system at http://www.mychingo.com

    Sorry if you thought that you were being “denied” ;-)

    I do not think the site is functional.

    @Atlantic:

    good call, i checked their two domains and they are dead ends. i wonder if they went belly up.. i will give it a day an call it up in the post if they continue to be dead. thanks for the comment.

  5. Who’s a dead end? MyChingo.com works just fine, I’m just re-doing the site, so we’re not taking on many new subscribers now.

    MobaTalk.com is in alpha test mode, with video only.
    Video, Images, Text, Audio, and Links will be in the Beta version of MobaTalk.

    Thanks for the info.

    @Michael Bailey: it didn`t worked at that time when checked. but let me know when mobatalk is done. write to me.

  7. I always thought this app had great potential, but now I can’t find it as mychingo or mobatalk. I hope something good happened.

    What happened to mychingo/mobasoft, is the service alive in some form?

  9. I believe MobaTalk is dead.
