It's also a great way to record notes and save them for yourself on your iPhone or retrieve them online on your own personal Audioboo page. And it integrates the iPhones location feature allowing you to show where you Booed. And you can share the link to a clip or embed it on your website or blog. Here is a little video that explains it all:
Here is my first Boo:
And here is their website: http://audioboo.fm
