Dickens SoundClouds
In order to celebrate the opening of the Dickens and London exhibition (will be up from December 9, 2011, to June 10, 2012), the Museum of London has requested Dickens fans to record their lines and passages from his work. You can submit the soundclouds via dropbox at the link. They have also designed an iphone/ipad app designed to take users on a journey through the darker side of London.
Pretty neat stuff. Check out details of the exhibition here.
