What percentage of readers who would normally leave a text message be willing to leave an audio message?" would be more like these "Are telephones ubiquitous enough to make phone calls common place? What percentage of people who would normally write and send a letter be willing to pick up the telephone instead?" Sure it's new, and I don't have stats on the saturation of the computer microphone marketplace, but I do know that MyChingo processes a steady 2,000+ audio comments each month. No advertising, and all word of mouth. It is definitely a neat industry to keep an eye on.
