Adding Audio to Blogs

          Adding Audio to Blogs

Let's face it, adding audio in the gutter of a weblog is not a new idea but right now SoundBlox by far does it the best.

This morning's question: How long before and what has to be done to get more bloggers/audtists to put and update a SoundBlox audioblogging widget in their gutter? 

My answer: Easy, non-techie SoundBlox XML generation features on the Internet and in the hands of audiobloggers and webloggers. Out of the box templete integration into blogging tools like Blogger, Radio, Movable Type,  etc. would be really great but unlikely.  IMHO I think the text centric field of blogging tools will miss this early rich media opportunity and if so will open the door of opportunity widely for a new field of Rich Media client medialog apps?  What to you think?

Dan Gillmor discovers SoundBlox.

Adding Audio to Blogs. Don't know how I missed this, but it's been around for a month: SoundBlox is "an MP3 audio playing Internet application that can be embedded into a personal blog template or Web page, and displayed in any modern Web browser." It's for non-commercial use, which excludes me on this blog, but I still intend to play with it on another blog I use for experimentation. Nice. [Dan Gillmor's eJournal]

 

Coolio! Now what do we have to do to get Dan to add one to his blog?

He could include his favorite speeches, the rants people have left for him on his answering machines, even know lies that 'new journalists' have revealed.  It could take new kinds of journalism into new realms!
