Any interesting articles or links about Voicethread??

Hi
I'm carrying out a research project about using Voicethread to build student confidence in contributing in the classroom. I'm interested in your views.
Do you think voicethread (and other web 2 technologies) can help to build student confidence?
I am a languages' teacher but am interested in any educators' or students' views or any links you have to interesting articles, forums or other discussions about the role of voicethread and web 2 technologies can play in building confidence.

Thanks and best wishes for the festive season.
