Worth a listen.
Maciej strikes again with a brilliant post. He's using an audio post to demonstrate how useless audio posts are. The problem is, the demonstration is so good and so funny that it seems to prove the opposite: audio posts can be efficient and entertaining.
Still, I'll follow his advice and stick to writing. Until I can do video posts, of course. ;-) [ni.vu.ni.connu - Martine]
Coming from the realm of instructional technology, this seems particularly relevant. There's been a long parade of different ways to do the same thing, from radio to film to video to hypermedia to this, that, and the other thing. Each step appears snazzier than the last, but that's not to say that each step is necessarily better or more effective. In the same way, audio blogging may be fun for some folks, but I doubt it's the best way to get your message out.
