odiogo Text-to-Speech (a Multi-Tasker's Dream)

Notice the "listen now" button above each of the posts on this blog?  It is from a web site called Odiogo and it translates the text in a blog post into speech... Why is that useful?  Well, for starters, followers of your blog can listen to your posts as they do other things.  They can also subscribe to your posts as a podcast- fed into iTunes or another aggregator, or put on an MP3 device so they can listen to your posts while they drive, walk, etc.  OR your students, especially the ones who need a little help reading your posts, can listen to the posts as they read along!  Check it out.  To get it installed on your blog just visit http://www.odiogo.com/, submit your blog address and email address, and verify that you are the owner of the blog.  Simple and powerful.
