456 Berea Street

As you may have noticed, I am offering an audio alternative (http://feeds.readspeaker.com/app/podcaster/usblogs/feed/30.xml) to the text-based RSS feed of this site. The voice in the audio feed is not mine though – it is a synthetic voice that is used to automatically create audio files of each article I post here.
The technology that makes it happen is ReadSpeaker Podcaster (http://www.readspeaker.com/templates/Page____2746.aspx) which I mentioned in ReadSpeaker PodCaster - listen to 456 Berea Street (http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200607/readspeaker_podcaster_listen_to_456_berea_street/) just after adding the feature to the site.
I'm mentioning it again because one of my contacts at ReadSpeaker alerted me to the fact that their technology is now being used on O'Reilly Radar (http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/05/listen_to_oreil.html) and O'Reilly FYI (http://www.oreillynet.com/fyi/blog/2007/04/are_you_listening.html), and other O'Reilly websites.
That is obviously good news for ReadSpeaker, but it is also good news for all the people who benefit from more sites giving their readers the opportunity to listen to their content.
