I got an email pimping a product that will turn your articles into videos. This may not be news to you as I’m not certain about the timeliness of the person that sent the email spam. But it was news to me. I followed the links to find out what the hell he was blathering about and was astounded to see a program that did indeed convert your article to a video.

Not just any video mind you. A very special Powerpoint kind of video. Apparently you copy your article into the software and it converts it into a video. With a cool robotic voice and everything. Everything being really exciting visuals. The kind you might find in cheesy 1997 stockphoto floppy disks. As the robot reads your article to the brain dead viewer the words splash across the screen. Death by Powerpoint spam.

Not only does Spam come in an email, a blog, articles and comments, but now you can actually watch it. It’s fantastic. Google certainly likes videos. Bet you’ve been dismayed to find three You Tube videos ranked above your cool website too. Get around this jam by converting your article to a video. And that robo-voice is so sexy. Bonus! You can add your own voice or an mp3 if you don’t like the robot.

It seems like the technology for this is pretty cool. I don’t know what it takes to program a deal like this but respect for the idea. But seriously who the hell is going to listen to this crap? No one wants to read most of the stuff that is put out there much less having some lame PLR read back to you like a Powerpoint presentation.

This is one of those ideas that seems great at first. Everyone wants videos. They rank and they can get viral pretty quick. But no one has attempted video spam to this degree as far as I know. This has the potential to be abused severely. But people aren’t going to dig having some robo read an article back to them. With words streaming along. Follow the bouncing ball children!

Another bad IM product. Interesting idea though.
