Google's Voice-to-Tweet Service

Are you stuck in a country with no internet access? Do you really need to tweet something? If you answered "yes" to that question then you are in luck...Google has just launched a new Voice-to-Tweet service! Thanks to Terry O. for the linkage.

We worked with a small team of engineers from Twitter, Google and SayNow, a company we acquired last week, to make this idea a reality. It’s already live and anyone can tweet by simply leaving a voicemail on one of these international phone numbers (+16504194196 or +390662207294 or +97316199855) and the service will instantly tweet the message using the hashtag #egypt. No Internet connection is required. People can listen to the messages by dialing the same phone numbers or going to twitter.com/speak2tweet.
