1. A system comprising:
- an object hosting unit that stores an object having a unique identifier that is associated with a particular user, wherein the object includes a graphic that is associated with the particular user;
a voice-based system that includes a voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) telephone associated with the particular user, separate from the object hosting system but coupled to the object hosting unit wherein a plurality of audible messages generated by the particular user is stored in a memory of the voice-based system for association with the object via the unique identifier;
wherein the object hosting unit further comprises a unit that uniquely associates each of the plurality of audible messages with the object via the unique identifier so that each of the plurality of audible messages can be accessed when the object is accessed; and
a computing device that accesses the object hosting unit over a link to access the object and the audible message.
