Speak Your Tweets

Are you frustrated by the 140 character limit in Twitter? Do you wish you could get more emotion into a tweet than just an emoticon? Well if you have an iPhone then TweetMic might be for you.

TweetMic is an iPhone app for recording “audio tweets”. You record your message and it’s saved to the TweetMic cloud servers, a link to it being posted onto Twitter. Any of your followers can then click on the link and listen to your message – or Tweetcast.

TweetMic comes from Voicetal LLC. According to the company:

Voice recordings capture something greater than can be said in 140 characters and can be more vivid than even photos. Radio hosts sometimes say that radio is the most visual medium. Auditory experience has the ability to stir the imagination and describe in visual terms something like a good novel would. It’s all about the story. Short audio clips can give you a sense of presence not available in other media. Being able to report from a situation directly can be very immersing and less intrusive than video and texting. Adding audio to breaking world events on Twitter will change the way we experience the world through Twitter.

I’m sure this will be extremely popular with many people, especially celebrities with famous voices. It will also add a huge amount of drama to live tweets about current affairs.

Personally I’m not sure the Twitterverse is yet ready for my melliferous tones
