Distribution of audio recording for social networks

Abstract:

A method for integrating audio recording and distributing. The method can include: detecting a user interface selection made by a user of a computing device; recording an audio snippet in response to the user interface selection; generating, by the first computing device, a social network message including an indication of the audio snippet; and transmitting the social network message to an external server for broadcasting to a set of user accounts of a real-time messaging platform.
