Just read over at Pat Phelans blog (to be honest he Twittered it first) about a well cool new venture of his called ‘Twitterfone’. Twitterfone is a new voice-to-text service for the social micro-blogging platform Twitter.
Basically, if you want to get something up on Twitter but you’re behind the wheel of a car and can’t type, you just call a local access number and speak your message which automatically gets converted to text and posted to your Twitter. Wicked indeed.
With a lot of cool new third-party apps and services like this one coming out my stand point on Twitter is definitely reinforced. It basically states that it’s not Twitter in itself that’s so great; it’s all the users, their contributions and especially all the all the cool, value adding apps and other stuff that get released for the platform. Naturally, this goes for pretty much all social networks in general (users generate value) but I believe this is true in particularly in the case of Twitter
As of now, the service is invite only but I have requested an invite and will write a review of the service if I am fortunate enough to receive one.
