Uploading (.amr) phone sound files & directly linking from Twitter

Hi there from the UK,

I want to be able to email sound files (.amr) from my phone (Sony Ericsson k800i) to my drop. The idea being that users can listen to my Twitter updates in person. However there's 2 current problems:

1) The Tweeted link only goes to my main drop page and not directly to the audio file.

2) .amr files are not recognised as audio files and therefore won't be automatically played using the built in flash player - leading to some confusion for followers who don't know they're supposed to click on the file. Also, if they don't have a suitable codec to play it.

Is there anything in the pipeline you're working on that might remedy this situation? It would be a powerful addition to mine and others Twitter streams, especially as more people are sharing photos around Twitter. I see this as one of the next big things :¬D

PS: If there's a UK phone number I can use to call my drop, please let me know! ^_^

PPS: Could I have a choice of Short URL tracking services to choose from? Like http://bit.ly or http://is.gd? Just a thought!

You have a point. I have a pretty old PC and my system RAM is precious to me. Right now I'm happy with the current state of affairs and think any future updater be an additional download. – CannonGod, on November 03, 2008 23:25

I've been discussing this over on FriendFeed. I'd recommend looking into FileHippo's software updater http://cli.gs/0pWgqu :¬)

Oh definitely! Blocking is not enough - I want to report it then and there! – CannonGod, on October 15, 2008 17:06

Ditto. They're skirting the Follower Spambot by just creating hundreds of accounts. Surely you can deep-scan through link posts like PopUrl and spot all the accounts pointing to the same site? Hell, this could be a great feature to put into Summize searches!

Activity sounds an awful lot like the 'Karma' feature from Plurk.

Mr Crystal,

Can you confirm if the search bar in the pic is a new feature you've added or is a script like this one: http://www.joshrussell.com/2008/07/18...



CNet & Mashable are going WILD over a potential new feature. I'm pretty sure it's a script running on a Mac.

Requesting BrightKite open up Beta to everyone. With the number of invite requests I've filled out it seems pretty definite that people want to use your service :-D *and give my poor ol' typing digits a rest!*
