Have you tried out Fotobabble yet? This is a fun tool for talking about pictures. You need to have a microphone to use it.
The Fotobabble team has had its eye on MyEC since we began playing Fotobabble tag. Yesterday, they contacted me and invited us to test out their new feature: Fotobabble Slideshows.
Will you help me test it out?

This is what you need to do:
1) Choose a blog post on MyEC that meant a lot to you! It can be yours or a friends. Take a screenshot of the blog post. (If you can't take a screenshot, send me the link and I'll take one for you and send it back to you. Be sure to include the URL of the blog post you want to pick.)
2. Go to Fotobabble.com. Sign up if you don't have an account. It's FREE.
3. Upload your screenshot of the MyEC blog post that meant a lot to you.
4. Record yourself talking about the blog post. (Click "Allow" microphone. Watch the orange bar. You don't have too long to talk about it. Make it short and sweet. Be sure to include the name of the writer.)
5. Tag your Fotobabble: MyECblog (no space) *This is very important. You must do this to have your Fotobabble added to our slideshow.
6. Give your Fotobabble a title.
7. Come back to this post and let me know that you have created a Fotobabble for the MyEC Blog Slideshow.
Let's see how it works. Let me know if you have any questions. Here is my example:Expector Smith's Tribute
Note: If you want to share your Fotobabble ahead of time, simply create a new blog post. Embed your Fotobabble. Use the Title: MyEC Blog Fotobabble Slideshow. Be sure to tell your friends and link to the instructions here.

Great idea, Tara! I decided to participate.
Though, I am not sure I put all the data properly (the tag which you mentioned and the title I wanted to give it). I didn't manage to check it on the website. I mean I tried but, for a wonder, it dissapeared everytime. :(
Here it is...
