Google has been watching the news. It knows what’s up. And now, like the most of the rest of us, it wants to know what it can do to help give the people of Egypt a voice. So it turned to Twitter. Google teamed up with the microblogging service and some folks from SayNow, a recently required voice-to-text service.
The companies are launching a new voice-to-tweet service that lets anyone with voice service post to Twitter. The service is already up, accessible by dialing one of these numbers, +16504194196, +390662207294, or +97316199855. The service is specifically targeted at Egyptian citizens, so utilizing it will automically tag tweets with the hashtag #Egypt.
Once recorded, tweets will be posted on the @speak2tweet account. You can also listen to messages by dialing one of the above numbers.
