SpinVox Breathes Voice into Social Networks
By Stefania Viscusi Assignment Desk Editor
As microblogging and social networking increase in significance in the lives of people across the world, one element to enhance the innovative capabilities they offer is voice.
With the new offering, users can post on Facebook (News - Alert), Jaiku and Twitter using only their voice.
Launched today, the new offering is part of SpinVox's website, where people can create an account and manage one, or all of their networking sites from a personalized page.
Using their voice, bloggers can speak into their mobile handset, for example and create a post to be directly posted to their chosen sites, or can be automatically posted to all three networking sites.
Voice driven social networking makes it far easier and more possible for any mobile phone user to stay constant with their connected life, no matter where they are, and without the need for a keyboard.
The combination of mobile and voice capabilities make it possible for users to share updates and information with their online community immediately and 'in the moment'.
"The use of social networks and micro-blogging sites has exploded in the past few years, but, so far, they've lacked true mobility and so are not achieving their full potential. Whether you've just walked out of a concert or have discovered a great new place to eat, your voice can now be used in place of the keyboard to tell the world the news and capture your thoughts, emotions and experiences `in the moment` as and when they happen," Christina Domecq, CEO and co-founder of SpinVox commented.
SpinVox has said they expect to also soon extend the offering to other well-known social networking and micro-blogging sites.
