Time to Start Your "VOLOG" ("VILOG" ?)

Another cracker from google: Audio Indexing!
Maybe its time to start posting voice (volog) and video (vilog) to our web logs instead of text (i hate typing you know that) and getting google to convert them to text...
One killer application that pops in my mind is for those large corporations to get rid of those bold men in Wall Street. 'Cause all they do is to listen to what other people are saying and map them to some actionable digital content!
Speech to text has been around for ages, but given the low accuracy and high processing power requirements their use was limited to sophisticated applications.
Now with google's monster content repository (youtube) and unlimited CPU power that it has, its time to re-think what can be done when "your computer can listen".
