I have a new phone.  It runs that new Google juice called Android, and for the most part I think it’s pretty neat.  It is, among other things, the first time I have owned a computer that I talk to, instead of just through:

I press that little microphone on the right, I say “DC like a local” and it gives me a link to Tim’s blog.  More often than not, this is quite a bit faster than typing a search query, and I’m starting to take a shine to it.  The whole experience isn’t optimized for speech in the same way it is on Star Trek, but I can see that coming eventually.

This, among other things, got me thinking about the manifold uses for small snippets of audio.  I decided I’d like to use a website that allows me to easily (preferably via an Android app) record, upload, tag, share, string-together, rate, geotag, edit, arrange, taxonomize, ontologize, and generally use small snippets of audio.

The way Flickr lets me do with pictures.

I started asking people who are smarter than me where I could find such a service, and while there were plenty of you-might-be-able-to-make-Google-Wave-do-that kind of answers, this conversation didn’t result in you’re any oh-you-must-mean-xxxxx type of answers.

So, Internet, I put it to you: what is Flickr for audio?

Answering “iTunes” results in lost karma, and anyone teasing me about still not having a Google Wave account will be summarily invited to suck on a lemon.  Possibly in all caps.  With exclamation points.
