megnut: September 2002 Archives

megnut: September 2002 Archives, if I may be act as historian, has an early mention of audio-blogging, which is some convoluted, geeky Applescript, text-voice-conversion-posting -- not the same as www.audioblogger.com below People seem to have been posting using audioblogger for perhaps a year now, but listen labs seems to have been offering the service in a different form for at least two years, Feb, 2003. Sometimes its like listening to somebody's answering machine, *YaWn*, but you can see where real, succinct, less than five minute postings could be very cool. Reminds me very strongly of the popular reaction to T.A. Edison's 1870's phonograph recording. Lots of excitement and speculation, and in the end, less a revolution than a seminal moment that morphed over and over into different forms.
