Thanks Karl; I like to try to keep people thinking. Actually, maybe not even writing out the entire transcript, but giving a little bit of detail into what the podcast or video might be about would help me immensely. I’m not one who likes being “teased” all that well when it comes to my time.

I’m totally with you on this one!

‘I know someone’s going to say “yeah, but you have that “listen” button at the top of each post. True, but I put that there to give people an option as to whether they wanted to listen or read my post.’

You said it right there, giving people an ‘option’.

I think it is great to add variety to a blog but I would stick to adding the text article underneath the podcast / video for those that prefer it.

I understand the time it takes to create a podcast or video and then have to write out a accompanying text post, but by adding the main points in a list could serve those that prefer text and may even encourage others to hit the listen / play button.

Thought provoking post Mitch!

Thanks for your comment, Barbara. It seems that, for the most part, most people would like to see more of the written word, which suits me just fine.

Hi Mitch,

Personally I prefer written posts as I like to soak in the verbiage and sometimes even read between the lines.

Hi Deanna,

I do know about that. Thing is, every once in awhile having video or audio doesn’t bother me. But if it was an everyday, every post thing, that just drives me nuts.

Now as I’m sure you know, I’m a big audio/video advocate. I do try to include text on my video posts. I’m not that good about putting up text on my audio posts. I haven’t really tested which posts get the most responses yet. I just like to give my visitors as many options to get the information as possible.

Natasha, the thing with me is that if every post is either a video or a podcast, I’m not sure it matters about the topic as much. I certainly don’t think it contributes much to your wanting to leave comments, that’s for sure. Every once in awhile is fine for me, but if that’s the only way one is going, I know I won’t participate on a regular basis.

Not sure on this one. For me, I think it would depend on the topic and the presenter.

It would be a heck of a lot of work but tracking versions would make a lot of sense: podcast vs. transcript/blog post.

I see podcasting in blog format on a regular basis as being odd. You’re asking folks to change “channels.”

Download and listen (maybe even offline).
Come back to my web site and post a comment.

There’s too much friction. Then again, as I said it would depend on the topic.

Well, I’ve got that covered, Rummuser, as I’ve posted a few links on this blog to my being interviewed. So if anyone wants to hear my voice, it’s pretty easy.
