So Reuters opens a lab, and their first product is podcasts, read by a computer. I applaud them on introducing a public experimentation space, but the human voice has a future, at least for a bit longer.
Compare the Reuters tech offering to Charlie Cooper and Leslie Katz in the News.com podcast, or Dan Farber and David Berlind in the Dan & David show on ZDNet. Yes, it’s easy to throw stones, but I don’t think I’m in a glass house on this one.
