BlogTalkRadio has created a new dial-in service for TwitterGrams.
Here's how it works...
1. Decide which phone you want to use to call in TwitterGrams. The phone must have Caller ID.
2. Visit the new phone signup page. Enter the phone number from step 1, and your Twitter username and password.
3. When you want to leave a TwitterGram using your phone, dial 646-716-6000. Leave a short message, less than half a minute (remember the 200K limit). Hang up when you're finished.
If all goes well, your "gram" will be posted on Twitter within seconds.
Just to be sure everything is working, I recorded one of my own this morning. No problems! ";->"

He pioneered the development of weblogs, syndication (RSS), podcasting, outlining, and web content management software; former contributing editor at Wired Magazine, research fellow at Harvard Law School, entrepreneur, and investor in web media companies.

"RSS was born in 1997 out of the confluence of Dave Winer's 'Really Simple Syndication' technology, used to push out blog updates, and Netscape's 'Rich Site Summary', which allowed users to create custom Netscape home pages with regularly updated data flows." - Tim O'Reilly.
