Manton Reece - Audio narration in Micro.blog

I love that micro.blog is playing with new ways to express yourself on your blog. Narrating blog posts is interesting to me for two things:

1. It allows a reader to instead be a listener and hear the nuance in your voice. This was a big "aha" I took from playing with Airchat — when you can hear the person speaking the message just lands different. Their humanity comes across. I like that a lot.
2. It would allow a blog to be listened to in a podcast feed. I don't know about that since it might be pretty boring to listen to narration that way. But I can see times I would absolutely do that.

I've given this a test run and narrated my Reflections on No Coffee and First Coffee in 54 Days posts. If you click on them you can listen to me instead. I’m playing with this in a hope to get better with audio. I find it intimidating and feel I’m overly stiff doing it, but maybe through more narration I'll get more comfortable with it.

Adding features like this is one of the many things I love that micro.blog continues to do!
