I’m not sure just how “mobile” this news is, but it’s interesting nonetheless. The company called Kirusa has launched the Call-n-Tweet service, which allows Twitter users to send Voice Tweets (short audio snippets) to update their Twitter status!
The service is still in alpha and is available to U.S. residents, only, but we expect it grow, considering just how popular Twitter is these days.
Here’s how it works:
- Sign up at callntweet.com.
- Then when you want to update your Twitter status, simply call +1 212-796-6975, speak a tweet and hang up.
- Your status on twitter.com is automatically updated with a URL link to the voice tweet. A follower can click on the link to hear the voice tweet and comment on it.
- Additionally, you can search for interesting audio clips, rate and comment on them at callntweet.com.
Now, the perfect thing would be to include some voice-to-text technology to the mix and eventually enable Skype calls. But that’s another story…
