One of the little things that happen at the Cork Open Coffee are the demos. On April 27 the attendees got a pre-release demo of Pat Phelan’s new project … Twitterfone.com

The idea is rather simple. Ring a local telephone number (currently US, UK and Ireland) and leave a 15 second voice message. Be careful what you say (or cough as Michael Arrington discovered), and your message is converted to text in a tweet on your twitter account. In addition a recording is also available (via a tinyurl), which is handy if your message doesn’t fit in to 140 characters of less. Yes we talk that fast in Ireland.

Its a useful service, especially if you are in a crisis situation and can’t talk for long.

I’ll be honest when I say that I’m dying to try it out, but given the sudden tidal wave of registrations it might be a little while.

And Twitterfone’s look is a Sabrina Dent creation.

take care,
tweet safely,
