Twitter for Voice?

Saturday, June 23, 2007 by Dave Winer.

The other day I was thinking about other kinds of Twitters. The thing we like about Twitter is that you can't post a book-length story about what's going on right now, you can only do a 140-character synopsis -- "I just got on BART" or "Driving to NoobCamp." It's one of those Worse Is Better or Less Is More things we like so much about the Internet. 

So I started making a list of different kinds of Twitter, and immediately gravitated to something I call TwitterGram, where you use the 140 characters to link to 200K audio messages. So I created one these messages. Click on the link below to listen to it.

I linked to this message from my Twitter acct. 

If you want to play the game on a lazy Saturday afternoon, record a response, no more than 200K, upload it, and link to it from your Twitter account, and put @davewiner somewhere in the text of the twit (so I will see it). Of course I'll be surprised if anyone actually responds, but what the heck, maybe people will. I have a funny feeling Chris Pirillo will like this.
