My feed reader just caught this great description of a service that lets you store and tag quotations online, similar to how del.icio.us lets you save and share bookmarks. (Via Library Stuff.)

It looks like the recording time limit over at Odeo finally got raised above 3 minutes, to allow for a full hour of recording. I’ve mentioned this service before, but the restriction on recording length made it impractical for many applications. I’m not sure when this happened (couldn’t find any reference to it), but I was pleased when I recently logged in to see this change.

Odeo removes a number of barriers for those looking to publish audio online. It goes beyond what is offered by the typical blog/enclosures publishing method in a few distinct areas.

• It provides a simple recording interface.
• It allows for organization of your media.
• Hosting and storage is taken care of.

Today I’ll talk about these points, and then suggest some possible applications of this service.

Caught FeedYes on Lifehacker, and shortly thereafter I while digging through my feeds I saw a reference to Feed43 on Scobleiizer. Neat stuff, but the first doesn’t seem to work 100%, and the second appears to take some work to set up.
