Y Not Voice Blogging?

I was just wondering why there hasn’t been a "voice" blogging system instead of this traditional text blogging ? Or may be there is and i dont know of it. I have googled though n cudnt get hold of ne meaningful stuff. So I was just thinking about the odds against voice blogging and got some points.

First of all, I have nothing against text. The beauty of words can never be sidelined and as an ardent lover of great books I can’t refute it. But when we talk about the two things that have prime importance in today's world, time and flexibility, I think voice has an upper hand over text. Speaking wat you want is generally 10 times faster than if you write it down. Flexibility wise, of course we all know that its much easier to speak than to type stuff.

Another important thing is that voice carries more emotional attachment than words .Now dont start rising from your seats...saying that there had been great novels with powerful words that influenced people's minds and hearts more than wat voice/visuals could do so let me put it in another more acceptable way.... getting an emotion across is easier through voice than text. For example....wat do you like better on your b’day , a greeting card written in an effusive way or a phone call with that person and a heart to heart talk? I definitely prefer the latter. Bottom line is that pain to mouth is much better than pain to hands.

So, Iam looking forward to the day when I am not hindered to blog wats on my mind just because Im lazy to type the stuff on the keyboard. I just speak my heart out in my microphone and (voice) blog it. Wouldn’t that be nice.!!?? Of course it can’t stop with voice, it will go till video n god knows wat but every revolution starts with a single step!

.an afterthought.....its funny to think of the place where i got these thoughts...Im sure that u must have understood!..now dont ask me :)
