YouTube Mixer is a new (beta) site for mixing and mashing up audio soundtracks. This is a dream come true for people looking to become their own DJ and experiment w/ different soundtracks from YouTube. YouTube Mixer also supports audio from SoundCloud and Jamendo and easily lets users edit their soundtracks to their heart's desire.
NameCoach is a wonderful web service that educators are using to learn student's names and pronounce them correctly. This is especially useful w/ commencement/graduation ceremonies on the horizon. The way this works is simple as a teacher creates a name/web page and then has the student's speak their names. The audio gets embedded into a page and a user can access them all on one page at anytime. Also, NameCoach makes it very easy to share recordings and keep track of student's name/email. It's easy, accurate, and 100% safe for schools to use.NameCoach is a wonderful web service that educators are using to learn student's names and pronounce them correctly.

TwistedWave is a neat little online audio editor that I just found out about from Free Technology 4 Teachers. This new (beta) site allows for users to upload or record an audio file and then edit it. Also, TW integrates w/ SoundCloud and Google Drive to make for easy uploading/exporting. Editing options include the ability to cut, fade in/out, adjust pitch, and more making it a rather robust online tool.
Online Audio Cutter is a handy little site I found out about from Free Technology 4 Teachers. This site site allows users to edit/cut audio from YouTube and Sound Cloud clips by pasting in a URL.
Vocalyze is a site I just found out about from Free Technology 4 Teachers. This is a great site for having web content read to you. This is ideal for those that like to multi-task and don't have time to read news on the web, or for those who may be visually impaired and can't read the way themselves.
Switchr is a nice free site for audio conversion. All a user has to do is upload their audio file, select what they want to convert it to, then enter their email address to get the finished product. One cool feature that you don't see all the time is the ability to convert an audio file into an iPhone ring tone.
Beat Lab is a super fun site for creating and mixing audio. This is done by moving the cursor in different directions to draw a line and then listen to the music that is created by different instruments. Once the song is completed it can be saved and then shared either on Beat Lab or Facebook.
SoundCloud is a site I just found out about from the amazing Shelly Terrell on Twitter. This is an excellent site for creating and sharing sound in all types of formats (great for mobile devices as well). This is done in an innovative way by creating a visual wave that users can download, embed, or comment on.
Hollur is a new social networking site that has been getting a lot a buzz online lately. This is done by recording your own voice to leave posts. Those audio messages can then be embedded into a site.
