GetaBuz
Keep in touch with friends with your favorite music.
BACKGROUND
This is internet innovation at its best. GetaBuz came up with this crazy and fun idea that we should be able to send a voicemail to our friend's cell that contained whatever music we want with our own voice superimposed, allowing us to deliver a truly personal message. Adding even more value to the idea, you can now deliver said message to anyone's cell without even ringing their phone, and place GetaBuz on a web page. Anyone who visits your webpage can listen; anyone who visits your webpage can respond. Kind of like an audio blog. Fun!
Additionally, GetaBuz's Voice Messenger connects your MySpace, Facebook or any webpage to your cell phone. Voice messages left on your webpage can be automatically forwarded to your cell phone, silently. You can even create messages from your cell phone.
This fun little ditty turns out to be quite valuable in other ways, as well. Musicians are using the format to communicate with fans, both on their website and through cell communication.
