Now that wouldn’t be so hard, would it? I mean, they don’t have to be famous poets who do the recordings, do they? It would be easy to get it disseminated on iTunes wouldn’t it?

I didn’t read your responses until after I had finished mine and sent them on to Nic. Enjoyed reading yours, although we disagree about Twitter. Facebook IS an online water cooler. Love that analogy. :)
