New Service Brings Voice to Social Networking Using the Simplicity of a Phone Call

Leave a comment

Voike Inc. is excited to announce a new social network platform that gives users the ability to voice their emotions by telephone.

Miami, FL, Thursday – September 15, 2011 — Voike Inc. is excited to announce a new social network platform that gives users the ability to voice their emotions by telephone. The unique technology merges a proprietary telephone engine and social platform to enable users-known as “Voikers”-to create and post voice messages and music on their social networking spaces.

The only platform of its kind, Voike makes it possible for users to communicate more intensely, magnify their reach and create a more personal connection on their favorite social Websites. Essentially, Voike brings voice to social networking using the simplicity of a phone call. As another distinction, the new technology allows Voikers to post through a hands-off call feature while driving. This makes Voike a safe and practical alternative to texting behind the wheel, especially given that the average person can speak 150 words per minute compared to texting 35 words per minute.

Voike President Jaime Jaramillo says his user-friendly technology is the ultimate way to update family, friends, fans and followers. He said: “What is the value proposition of social media?” At the end of the day, isn’t it that it connects people on a deeply personal level across time and geography? Voike, being able to let users communicate with their voice, allows for a truer, more emotional, persuasive and personal communication.

What exactly is Voike? It’s telephone-to-Web voice file posting technology that allows Voikers to create and post voice messages into their personal social platform accounts. They can also email, forward, redistribute, replay, reply, comment and interact with all posted voice files. In addition, Voike users can:
* use the Voike dashboard as a blog and message center to distribute spoken-word messages, comments, and other content to blogs. Users can post voice blogs into different user-created categories
* to add spoken-word content such as short stories, product and book reviews, interviews, live performances, “jam” sessions from multiple locations, personal commentary, and proposals
* utilize the platform to reach everyone, a pre-selected group or specific contacts. Users can send public and private messages
* post and receive voice files from any smartphone or regular cell phone
* can call in from anywhere in the United States and Canada

Voike is extremely easy for users to operate. Voikers simply need to register, import their contacts and start using the service by calling the number provided. Registration is free, and no downloads are required. The service is initially being offered in beta mode, and users are encouraged to provide suggestions for improvement and other feedback.

The release of Voike comes at a time when social networking Websites have gained tremendous popularity in the marketplace. Sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and MySpace have attracted millions of users, making social networking a mainstream form of communication. State-of-the-art technology such as Voike is making it easier for Internet users to add a personal touch to their social media messages. A privately-owned company, Voike Inc. is based in Miami, Fla.

Pinflap Live! — Feb 26 8.30-10pm @ Dunn Bros Coffee House, Beltline Road Addison, TX

Leave a comment

The patrons glanced up at the musician from behind their laptop screens drawn from their cyber worlds by the unique acoustic songs which permeated the Texas coffee shop.

Their glances to the musician, their smiles and loud cheers at the end of each song indicating they were enjoying the performance. Such is the ambience of a coffee shop audience as they work on their laptops while enjoying the live music.

The singer/songwriter that night was Pinflap (Gregory Wooldridge) from Dallas Texas, who’s first CD Pinflap 2 is a current hit with international radio audiences.

By popular request, pinflap will return to Dunn Bros Coffee House, Addison Texas on Saturday night, Feb 26 to share more of his unique acoustic songs.

Wooldridge has been writing music for about 28 years. At the age of 21, he brought a used acoustic guitar and taught himself how to play. Three months later he was in a band and playing bass.

As a former member of several successful bands in the 80s and 90s, including the Cadillac Cowboys, he then went on to carve out a solo career as a singer/songwriter and an acoustic guitarist performing under the name Pinflap.

Pinflap credits Lindsey Buckingham, James Taylor and Ian Anderson, as musicians who inspired his career. One amazing fact about Pinflap is that he never uses a pick, ever! His unique acoustic style sounds simplistic but yet it is complex if not impossible to emulate.

In an industry often permeated with mixers and voice synthesizers it is refreshing to hear the raw talent of a singer/songwriter acoustic guitarist who sounds as good live as he does on his 2010 released album, Pinflap 2. But don’t take my word for it check him out yourself at Dunn Bros Coffee, Addison from 8.30pm on Feb 26.

He has a number of internationally acclaimed songs available on itunes including The Branch a favourite amongst internet radio audiences. ‘The Branch was inspired by singer/songwriter Michelle Branch’ said Pinflap. On release of the single Michelle Branch sent a message to Pinflap ‘‘ Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone write a song for me. Thank you! Sounds great’

Pinflap 2 his self titled CD is still available at all major e-retailers.

Supporting artist for Pinflap at Dunn Bros will be Buck Morgan who was inspired by John Prine, Kris Kristofferson and Bruce Springsteen and is drawn to singers/songwriters who tell a story, share an adventure and introduce you to a character.

‘I’d like to write a pop song some day. I’m still on my first hundred songs, and the songs are all so close to me. They’re literally family.’ Said Morgan.

The Vincent Hayes Project’s “Reclamation” CD Snags #6 Spot on B.B. King’s Bluesville on XM Radio

Leave a comment

East Lansing, Michigan – November 21, 2010 – The Vincent Hayes Project snags the Number Six Spot on B.B. King’s Bluesville Channel 74 on Sirius/XM Radio after making its Capital City debut performance at Reno’s East Sports Bar in East Lansing just two weeks ago. Returning to East Lansing where the band recorded their debut CD, “Reclamation” at the Grammy winning producer/engineer Glenn Brown Studios, the Vincent Hayes Project is rapidly claiming attention from some of the most influential names in the Blues Music industry. In the October-November 2010 issue of Big City Blues Magazine, Gary von Tersch refers to Vince Hayes as “Michigan-based blues guitarist, vocalist and songwriter extraordinaire.” von Tersch’s review of “Reclamation” reads, “Few musicians these days can sustain that aura of inner moodiness that is at the core of the blues for ten minutes on even one album cut – here Hayes does it twice.

Aided immeasurably by [Doc] Yankee’s piano, the slow-burning, long-ashed “I’ve Got A Right To Change My Mind” contains some brilliant, cliché-free lyrics and one of Hayes’ most soulful (a la Ray Charles or B.B. King) vocals along with some inspired, persuasively pensive guitar work that might even cause Clapton to raise an eyebrow in appreciation while the even longer “Some Kind Of Fool” has an organ backdrop, some deep-soul charged lyrics and a series of guitar passages that slowly and smoothly build the song’s intensity far into the red zone.” Blues lovers and professionals in the industry are welcoming “Reclamation” as is made evident in comment from B.B. King’s Bluesville, Sirius/XM D.J., Pat St. John’s comment of the band’s debut CD.

“I’m digging these tunes of yours! Everything I’ve heard from it is a winner. It’s a smoker!” says St. John. “Reclamation is a thoroughly modern blues album, but not a stale blues-rock album. The results speak for themselves: Alves [Dave Alves on bass and vocals] and Hugley [Donnie Hugley on percussion] form an air-tight unit that backs Hayes with a loose, funky groove, and Hayes proves to be a dexterous axe man whose charisma and love for the music shine strong throughout the disc,” says Living Blues Magazine October 2010. “Reclamation” is available on CDbaby, iTunes, Rhapsody, CDMojo, Amazon, Reverbnation, North61 Records the Vincent Hayes Project’s Record Label, and Amazon. About The Vincent Hayes Project Formed in 2004, the Vincent Hayes Project continues to perform for and impress blues lovers, recording artists, and industry professionals worldwide. Members include: Vincent Hayes, Guitar and Lead Vocals; Dave Alves, Bass and vocals; Donnie Hugley, percussion; Christian Van Antwerpen and Doc Yankee sharing keyboard duties.
