Phweet: A new way to stay hyperconnected!
Last night, Ken and I got invited to a call on twitter. There is a new service by our friends Stuart Henshall and David *mrblog* Beckemeyer, called Phweet.
Their ‘About Page’ looks like this:
* Have you ever wished you could just Talk to your Twitter friend?
* Have you ever wanted to spontaneously set up a Conference Call with your Twitter friends?
* Have you ever felt irritated that you have to turn on a separate client to accept a Call?
Phweet lets you accept calls with one click from your Twitter page or Twitter clients. Phweet is a simple service where you don’t need to download or share anything more to talk. The call is contained within a PhweetUrl; a smart link that calls you. And you can share who you are talking to in real time without having to reveal or exchange phone numbers or other identities.
Last night what I saw on my twitter feed was this: stuarthenshall @sherylbreuker http://phweet.com/45bs This is a new type of Phweet. It works like a watercooler or “coffee talk cafe”. You can visit at … …
Once joined, this is what showed up in my twitter feed: Sheryl Breuker joined @stuarthenshall http://phweet.com/45bs with @mrblog @phoneboy @andrewhansen @phweeter @kencamp @asaunders.
The interesting thing about this is that it really supports the idea Ken and I had with our last podcast a few weeks ago. In it we talked about the uses of hyperconnectivity and what that can mean for our lives in the future.
I wouldn’t take anything away from Stuart and David by saying we thought of it first, obviously we didn’t, but I would like to point out that for those of us using these tools, tools like Phweet are revolutionizing our world.
Kudos to David Beckemeyer and Stuart Henshall for providing a great new way to stay connected!
