SpinVox has teamed up with the blogging software provider Six Apart to enable the latter’s 12 million users to speak a message into their phone that is posted as text on their online blogs.
SpinVox is best known for a service that converts voicemails to text and sends them to the receiver as an SMS. The Six Apart deal is based an another SpinVox product called SpinMyBlog, which works on the same principle but emails the text message to a web site.
This latest signing for SpinVox adds to the substantial activity around blogging – and the move to merge mobile and PC as channels for sending and publishing entries.
Mena Trott, co-founder and president of Six Apart, said: “This integration is a great way for blogging and voice to go hand-in-hand. By dialing a number, our customers can connect with millions of bloggers and communities with postings that are immediate and that capture the essence of the moment.”
This commercial deployment taps into the blogging phenomenon that has already generated the creation of more than 81 million blogs, capturing 1.6 million postings every day, according to the market tracker Technorati.
