YackPack -- Is This Something People Want?

After a bit of blogbouncing from angiemckaig.com to Cameron Moll's Authentic Boredom, I ended up at YackPack.com.

YackPack let's people create groups (packs) and leave voice messages for each other. So it's kinda like email, but louder. I haven't tried it yet, but after watching the demo video, it looks pretty easy -- create a pack, click on the faces of the people you want to leave a message for, record your message and send. They get an email notification, login at YackPack, and click to listen to their messages.

I have to admit I haven't really embraced the whole 'talking on the Net' thing. For a while, I was using one of those little Logitech cameras and Netmeeting to have video chats with friends and family, but it was mostly a pain. And I don't use Skype or any other VoIP service -- my ISP has a service that let's me use my regular phone to make calls to the US cheaper than any VoIP service I've come across so far.

I purposely bought a headset with a mic just in case I wanted to give any of these things a try, but so far I haven't done it. No voice messages, no Netmeetings, no Skype calls, no podcasts, and no Yacks.

But maybe for other people, this is something they'd like to give a try?
