Twittergram via Phone
July 3, 2007
Many of you know I am an avid user of Twitter, which answers the question, “What are you doing?”. Dave Winer, the founder of RSS, has been working on a new service called “Twittergram” which allows you to create audio files for Twitter. It didn’t really add anything new to Twitter except an easy mechanism to create and link to a mp3 file. Now Dave has released Twittergram Phone, which allows you to create a Twittergram audio file simply by calling a number from your phone. At first I was bit intimidated thinking the process may be a bit complicated, but as it turns out, it wasn’t!
1. Sign up at the Twittergram page by inputing the phone number you wish to call from and your Twitter information
2. Call 646-716-6000 and leave a short (< 30 sec) message
3. Wait for message to be posted to Twitter!
Very, very easy. Robert Scoble has cleverly utilized this as a personal reminder system. I can see some other uses as well. Again, it’s not about the capability of doing this, its the ease of use. I like stuff like that.
Here’s my first Twittergram Phone.
