Utterz: is a Web-based service that posts to all of the above, from anywhere, even by phone, whether it’s text, photos, video, voice, or a mash-up of all the above. Same with PCs. You can just e-mail or SMS the posts to Utterz, or make a phone call to leave a voice record. After the content is received, it’s forwarded to the blog or blogs you specify in about 10 minutes. This online tools brings us one step closer to having a personal Twitter. If you setup your own WordPress blog (hosted or on WordPress.com) and use the Prologue theme (new zipped release by popular request, thanks Joseph Scott), you can have many of the flexible posting features of Twitter on your own platform. Since Utterz is a remotely hosted service, I am not sure the benefit of a “personal” Twitter are realized quite as well, but it is definitely a start and provides much broader flexibility and control than Twitter. I am quite hooked on Prologue and have started to use it on wltc.net. I have left registration open for authors on wltc.net for those that are interested (probably a bad idea, time will tell).
I’ve seen Utterz used on a few other blogs and it does seems pretty cool. It looks pretty cool within a post and comes across clearly. I just don’t know what I would really use it for.
