A new, experimental service from Dave Winer called TwitterGram makes it easy to post audio Twitter messages.

Here’s what you do:

  1. Record a short audio file — no larger than 200K — in mp3 format.
  2. Visit the TwitterGram website.
  3. Enter your Twitter username and password.
  4. Enter up to 75 characters of text that will introduce your Gram on Twitter.
  5. Upload your mp3 file.
  6. Click the “Submit” button.

That’s it. A Twitter message is generated straight away, with a link to the mp3 file that you’ve uploaded. Here’s how the TwitterGram I just created about PodCamp Boston 2 looks in Twitter:

I’ve also attached the audio file below. If you’re using an RSS reader, you may need to click through to the blog to see the Flash audio player.

Hat tip to Neville Hobson, who also posts about several other “cool ways to use Twitter.”
