I covered ViaTalk the other day and completely missed a pretty cool service they have called BrainCasting.

BrainCast is in beta and basically its an online voice messaging service.  However, its got the potential to do a lot more than just that.

How it Works

You sign up for a quick and free account, providing a phone number that is allowed to call in messages, and an email account that will be notified whenever a message is recieved.

You then recieve a toll free (866) number that you can plug into your cell phone and save as a contact.  You call the number and a voice mail beep clicks off right away and you record a voice message.

The message is then saved online with BrainCast at ViaTalk and you can access it through the internet to listen to it with a program like MediaPlayer.

You can also forward messages from the online storage to any email address.

I find this pretty cool.  I think I can even incorporate this into my upcoming Podcast shows.  I can record a thought while I’m out and about, and then convert the wav file later and edit into my show.  The sound quality is excellent.

If you are keeping track of a project in MindManager you can even link to the files with the voice notes, and essentially maintain a voice message with your mapped out project.
