Library Cataloging
Audio Version Now Available
I've just added Odiogo to this weblog. Now, you can listen to posts instead of reading. I don't see much benefit here but it was very very easy to add and the reading is amazing. If you have a weblog that has longer essay pieces, it might make sense and be of benefit to some of your users. There is a podcast version that has a nice feature. The text that is read appears as the lyrics on iPods and maybe other players. You can subscribe to the podcast version of Catalogablog easily. Very impressed with this tool, for some weblogs, it will be an excellent add-on.
