I told him he just needed to get Egorcast to make a simple change and then you would have the option of posting the transcribed text or the audio "Twittergram" to Twitter via the Jott service. It would have been nice if he asked them to add the feature as he has a lot more "pull" than I do! The link to the audio is in the email already and Jott has a nice lightweight audio player. I sent a request but doubt I have enough pull to make it happen. Personally, the more I see, the more I'm beginning to dislike the idea. Listening to the 200k "uh...err...uh..." is a waste of time. 200k 'grams contain much more than 140 characters. Haven't listened to Dave's last few 'Grams and have listened to none of Scobles (and yes I like them both!). And when you said "cleverly utilizing it as a personal reminder system"...that's a big turn off. Why do I want to spend the time listening to Robert "remember to pick up milk" messages. Sorry Bwana, need to start my own blog instead of hijacking yours! :D Hey, IIRC I’m the first one to do a Twittergram via phone.
