Roger Strickland has a bare-bones phone to Twittergram system working.
I just called his service on my Blackberry, recorded a Twittergram, and it was posted through the web service.
Yehi!!
The number to call is 888-281-3613. Don't talk too long (remember the 200K limit). Hang up when you're done.
Awesome!!
Others are working in this area as well, but Roger was the first to break through with working functionality.
I'll be leaving a voice TwitterGram from my iPhone, with any luck, in less than an hour.
This is coooooool.
