What is Voicethread? It is an online media album that can
* hold any type of media (images, documents and videos) and
* allows people to make comments in 5 different ways - using voice (with a microphone or telephone), text, audio file, or video (with a webcam)

A VoiceThread allows group conversations to be collected and shared in one place, from anywhere in the world.
