An interesting blogologue (OK - it is a made up word, how do you describe a discussion that spans multiple blogs and comments?) made the rounds today concerning multimedia storytelling.

For background see: I’m bored with Soundslides, Banish boring slideshows, Can you get me a Soundslide of that?, and Slideshows can plug the Video Gap.

The headlines pretty much tell the story. Lots of opinions, not a whole lot of consensus reached.

I was prepared here to give a spirited defense of audio slideshows as an engaging and entertaining storytelling device, but instead the work can speak for itself:

Summer’s Warriors
A Natural Direction
US Marine Anthony Laban Kimungu
