I just read on pluggd.in about Google India’s Noticeboard. What is it?
Google Noticeboard is an application that helps people access and share information over the Internet using public digital noticeboards. Using Google Noticeboard, communities can access a variety of relevant information. People can create text messages or record voice snippets and post them to one or more noticeboards.
Typically each digital noticeboard carries publicly accessible messages. Compared to the notion of personal communication using email accounts, the Noticeboard metaphor allows user to engage in public communication with communities. Noticeboard is designed to be usable by all, even people with no prior computer experience. Since messages can be voice based, even literacy is not a pre-requisite. [Noticeboard]
Here are some screenshots of the service:
It requires a Firefox Extension too. I installed it but still can not figure out how this is different from a discussion forum. Hmmm… Check it out here. Maybe you can understand it better.
