140 characters got you down? Need to tweet while driving around and don’t feel like causing an accident? Here’s a solution: TweetCall.
TweetCall bridges the gap from your life on Twitter, the social networking service that is popular with everyone from the technorati to the members of Congress, to when you otherwise wouldn’t be able to tweet. The fun doesn’t stop there, non-technical users can use TweetCall to get in on the action and so can those users that wish not to pay for text message tweets.
So how does it work? Simple, call in to the toll free number, speak your peace (in 140 character segments) and it gets posted to your Twitter stream. Easy right?
Hold up, what if I say, “I am booking in Times Square on my wheels,” but what gets transcribed from voice to text is “I am hooking in Times Square in high heels.” Embarrassing, right? Worry not, TweetCall uses voice recognition technology developed by Quicktate which is a “highly accurate transcription service, which uses humans to proofread all messages for proper syntax, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation before they are submitted.”
Sarcasm aside, one really interesting concept TweetCall brings the ability to post not just text to your Twitter stream, but the audio as well. That opens up Twitter to some interesting ideas.
