Tech Fun with the Washington Post


ResearchBuzz reports that the Washington Post has a blog. It’s not a traditional blog, but rather the Washington Post Remix is a site where people share what they’re doing with Washington Post online content. Current examples include a link from Post book reviews to Amazon and Rebotcast, which converts Post text content to audio.

Definitely worth following — love watching traditional media catch up with new technology. Kind of like what libraries are doing!
