As the amount of audio streamed online has skyrocketed, sharing audio remains incredibly difficult. For example, it’s hard to record and post a quick thought to Twitter or share a clip from a podcast on Facebook. Anchor wants to fill that gap with its audio-based social media platform – think Twitter, but instead of Tweets, users share recorded Waves, and instead of 140 characters the limit is two minutes of sound. Users can browse Waves by topic, search for hashtags, and follow other users whose work they like.
