Since I started using WordPress I had always thought that anything can be done with it.
And I have started loving WordPress more and since I have started exploring the WordPress plugins directory.
Here is a WordPress plugin that definitely needs some attentions as it can bring out the most of your WordPress blog-Through the video and audio comments.
Riffly WordPress audio and video commenting plugin
This plugin is really nice and here are some of the cool features that it offers. With the use of this WordPress plugin your blog commentors can now post audio and video comments.
None of the audio or video comments are stored in your server,every audio and video comment made in your WordPress blog stored in Riffly server, so no need to worry about server space problems.
All the audio and video comments that are made in your blog, will have to be approved before they are show (If you have not set Auto approval for WordPress blog comments).
Your blog’s commenter will have the option to edit preview the audio or video comment before the comment is posted. The video comments are recorded through the commentors web cam and his/her microphone.
Audio and video buffering speed is fast and it is not something a WordPress blogger needs to worry about.
As these guys are providing such a fine service their needs to be some way that they earn some money to maintain this plugin so there are advertisements embedded in the video and audio comments (Similar to you tube advertisement).
You can easily get rid of these advertisements by getting a premium account-Starts from around $16/month and with this you also get around 10,000 Ad credits (Means that for 10,000 views of your WordPress blogs audio and video comments their will be no advertisement shown in the your blogs audio or video comment).
There are many more plans,to suit your needs ,but I suggest to go with the $16 when you are starting with as it’s always wise to start from base.
But then with the premium account you also get a control panel of you own and all the comments made in your WordPress blog can be downloaded awell.Their are many more features that you get with a premium account of this WordPress plugin.
Here are a couple of the screen shots I took while testing this plugin.

do you think the reader will take this much time to record or post an audio-video comment
@Tushar:-I had the same notion before trying it,but other than ads (kinda looks spammy) its fast and the streaming of videos and audios is pretty fast.
Very interesting find. I might give this a try soon and see what kind of response I get.
Really very very interesting. I think i should give it a try on my blog
@Tony @Loveish-Go ahead and give it a try ,its really easy to use and may even bring some more interactivity to your blog
Hi there.
We use the plugin for our site, which is dedicated to poetry-readings. People can post their poem in text and sound. The plugin is great for that purpose. I just wonder.
What is happening with it at the moment? Is Riffly closing down or what?
@Jeff:- I dont think so ,as this works just fine on my test installation,Btw you have nice poetry blog,color combinations is really good.
Yeah, it’s working again. i tried to acces their homepage alle day yesterday, but it was offline for some reason. Now they are back, and everything is working again.
@shoaib Hussain: Thank you for the nice words on my blog.
Wow, Video Comments? This is the Future of Blogging. Yippie ey.
I never heard about that. ^^
Riffly is not very reliable. The video and audio comments work every couple of days. Currently the plugin will not work. If it worked it would be amazing. I wonder if someone knows any wordpress plugin developers that could make a new one of these plugins that is more reliable?
