Google reads XKCD - decides to impliment the feature
Whilst Matt Cutts Blog is down, this is a mirror, dont get mad MATT!
A couple weeks ago, xkcd ran this funny comic: Randall Monroe, the creator of xkcd, suggested that if YouTube commenters had to listen to their comments read back to them aloud, it might lead to better discussion on YouTube. Some Googlers thought that was a pretty fun suggestion, so they did it. YouTube now has an audio preview so you can listen to your comment before you post it. I love that Google had the sense of humor to add this feature. Hat-tip to Fitz for pointing this out. Completely unrelated other than it’s a cool piece of software on the web: Yahoo is revamping their web calendar software.
