AT&T Small Biz Site using TTS

http://www.bizjournals.com/sanantonio/stories/2008/02/18/daily23.html

AT&T Inc. is beefing up its free online small-business portal to include more resources to assist owners and executives.

First launched last February, San Antonio-based AT&T's (NYSE: T) Onward Small Business Web site (www.att.com/OnwardSmallBiz) has been upgraded to allow for greater feedback from the business community.

The main enhancement is that AT&T's site is now giving visitors the ability to listen to content via text-to-speech technology, including news information, customer stories and case studies.

The upgraded site also is giving small-business owners the ability to rate, share and tag articles in the news and insights section, recommend customer stories and case studies to include on the site, grade Web-based courses offered through the site, suggest topics for new online courses and receive customized content.

AT&T provides IP-based business communications services, wireless, high-speed Internet, voice services and directory publishing and advertising services. The company also is a growing provider of digital television entertainment through its U-verse TV service.

I tried to go verify and checkout what they were doing, but the site was almost completely unresponsive.

I can't either. Sometimes I think people just make up things in press releases.
