The Landing files tool can be used to share files with others, comment on them and build dialogue around them.
Some files are treated specially: on the whole, pictures will be displayed as pictures (jpg, gif and png formats), audio will be played as audio (mp3 and a few other formats) and video will be shown as video (various formats). It is thus a way to build picture galleries, podcasts and vodcasts.
You can upload multiple files and even upload zip files, that will be extracted on this site into their individual components.
We welcome comments on public posts from members of the public. Please note, however, that all comments made on public posts must be moderated by their owners before they become visible on the site. The owner of the post (and no one else) has to do that.

I especially appreciate your comment on voice blogging and podcasts being different. On the nature of revisions for voice blogging you could make additional records and merge, however I wonder if that adds value to the act of voice blogging.
An additional point to ponder is the differences when moving to video. If we compare text, voice and video blogs do each have specific value or are voice and video providing very similar benefits? I definitely agree that video blogging and videocasts remain different just as voice blogging and podcasts are different.

Hi Glenn and Eric,
You raise an important comparison -- between voice blogging and video (blogging). I think that I always like to see the person talking, and yet I also like to shut my eyes and listen deeply or in a reflective manner to voice.
Cheers,
Jo Ann
