Adam recently started adding audio to his blog. It's something I'd actually thought of a while back when I was trying to define just what 'life - listed chronologically' was. In my case, I couldn't decide exactly how I wanted to do it. Yesterday, He wrote:
I tried to explain to Patricia yesterday that I'm not really sure what the value of audioblogging is either. It's more like an audio-book than radio at this point. I find myself actually trying to sound more like some of my favorite book-readers (I'm an Audible.com shopper). Can't explain why, it just feels right. Similarly, the feedback on the audio-postings is still 100% positive, so onward we go I guess! [Adam Curry: Adam Curry's Weblog]
I can think of one value of audioblogging. It opens up how disabled people can experience a blog. While there are screen reader programs out there for blind web users, this would add a much more personal feeling to a weblog as opposed to just hearing a computerized voice reading out what it sees on the page. Or, going with the book-reader concept, I could download Adam's blog to my iPod to listen to in the car on my way to work.
