Innovative Uses of Podcasting - Talkr
The MarketingMonger Podcast #84 explored a new podcasting trend as the host, Eric Mattson, interviewed Chris Brooks, the CEO of an interesting podcast adjunct, Talkr.
Talkr is a program which takes a RSS feed and converts it into audio. You can take the feed from a blog or from a media source webpage, such as a headline in the New York Times, and Talkr will pull those feeds every hour and once a new entry is available, the text will be converted into audio format so that it can be listened to at your convenience, just like a podcast.
Another useful source of Talkr is that you can include a "listen to this" button to your blogpage, and the Talkr program will convert your blogposts into audio and allow those listeners who would prefer to listen instead of read, to access your blog in an audio format.
If you are interested in trying out the program quickly, it is installed on the Talkr blogpage.
Good luck in your review of this interesting and innovative social media tool.
All the Best,
Ian and Suzana
