Rather than write up the results, here’s a video that Anthony put together.

WTF? Some of us are busy and would love a quick write-up. Not everyone is a teen that can spend all day watching YouTube videos. Hell, some of us work places where we can't even see the video if we wanted to!



You're kind of darned-if-you-do, darned-if-you-don't with content creation for certain audiences: text is rarely remarkable because it is quickly consumed and (if you're lucky) maybe retweeted, which produces nearly no value for the business. Video is harder to duplicate and might actually attract some links, and is easier to consume for the average Internet user than text is (oh goodness, if you collect stats on online attention you might as well start popping Prozac now), but it doesn't fly with the group that wants to get in and out of your article in 45 seconds or less.

Decisions, decisions.


audio + digital dictation = text?

Just a suggestion.
