I’m going to the eComm conference for most of the week. I’m also presenting there tomorrow. “No More Numbers – CallerID 2.0″. I’ll post my slides with a pre-recorded audio soon after presenting.
I’m going to make some statements that look at Twitter as a possible future for telephony. The context will relate to using “text based signals” to set up communications. Those signals include a URL (as those that have used Phweet know) which sets up the exchange rules for the conversation. Ask yourself. Could a text based signaling approach replace DTMF tones? Is context before a call important? What if you could select and control your callerID?
Phweet was launched as a public alpha last year. More information may also be found at the PhweetTalk blog.
