Pinger is a new service that works like Twitter but instead of text it uses voice mail. For me, voice requires more focus than text, as odd as that may seem. I can’t do anything else when I’m doing audio or video stuff. However, I can see the appeal of something like this for the commute, during exercise or generally on the go. Audio is ideally suited for those activities and is a big reason I subscribe to podcasts.

Twitter has landed funding from Union Square Ventures. In the short term, I hope that means a few new servers and better uptime (thought it’s been better lately). I can’t predict where Twitter is heading, but I suspect with competitors like Pownce and Jaiku springing up that they’ll probably be adding a few features. It’s kind of ironic though because the idea for Twitter itself was just one simple feature from Dodgeball and now most of these “twitter” clones are becoming more like the app that inspired them. The internets do love some irony.
