- karangoeluw 13y agoYes. And a single use - upload and share. And SoundCloud is mostly for music, this is for random audio files only. Also, I'd like to make the service free, ad free, and maybe add a very cheap pro option.

- 4ngle 13y agoThe big thing about imgur is the community. Consider the front page of imgur. I think that's the cool thing about the idea. You usually go to Soundcloud because you're linked there, it's not something that easily builds its own culture.
- dwiel 13y agoSoundcloud has a nice culture. I go there both to discover music and to listen to music I've liked. It's different than imgur but I think that partly is just due to the fact that it takes anywhere from 3 minutes to an hour to experience each 'piece' compared to an image which you can digest in a few seconds and flip through a bunch when you need to burn a minute or two.

- kbar13 13y agodebatable. soundcloud has community as well, you just might not have gotten into it yet if you simply get linked or listen to stuff from the embedded player.
